Reporting Banded Birds

Banded birds may be reported to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. Banded shorebirds may also be reported here.

Help support Spoonbill conservation efforts by reporting banded Spoonbills. Click for details.

Illegal Trapping

Illegal trapping of buntings and other birds is a big problem in South Florida. If you see trapping going on, do not attempt to confront the trappers yourself. Report it to Fish and Wildlife. Our illegal trapping page has information on what to look for and how to report it.
