Summary

Description

Waterfowl banding on Amchitka Island, Alaska was conducted between 5 August and 6 October 1980. Five traps were constructed and set for a total of 195 trap days. The banding project was terminated on 6 October, coinciding with the shutdown of the Amchitka facility. Eight birds were recaptured in 1980. Information on banding location and time is presented. The small number of recaptures suggest that we may not be banding large enough numbers of birds to overcome annual mortality and show up in subsequent years.
