Reporting Forms

Bands and Tags

Where can I report a banded bird?

Reporting by the public of banded birds is critical to migratory bird conservation. Bands found on birds taken during hunting seasons, on bird carcasses or band numbers read or photographed on live birds, should be reported. The information will be forwarded to the appropriate researchers. The individual reporting the band will receive information on the bird and on where and when it was banded.

Where can I report a tagged fish?

Biologists tag fish to assist with various population studies. If you catch a tagged fish, please fill out the online reporting form.

Anglers who include their name and address on the report will receive a brief history of the fish they caught from the local fisheries biologist.

Important information to report includes species, length (inches), when and where the fish was caught, and the tag number/color.
