Arkansas biologists help track ducks via banding in the Dakotas to guide conservation and sustainable hunting.
Arkansas biologists are participating in a U.S. Geological Survey program to band ducks in the Prairie Pothole Region, primarily in August and September across North and South Dakota.
Using nets, they attach metal bands to ducks’ legs to track migration patterns, population sizes, survival rates, and harvest levels.
Data from recovered bands—often by hunters or during surveys—help inform wildlife management and conservation strategies.
The collaborative effort involves multiple states and federal agencies, supporting sustainable hunting and habitat protection amid ongoing challenges like climate change and wetland loss.
The program continues to be a vital tool in waterfowl science.
