MTAB 51 July 26, 1983 MEMORANDUM TO : All Banders FROM : Chief, Bird Banding Laboratory Office of Migratory Bird Management Laurel, Maryland 20708 SUBJECT : I. Tabulation of encounters 2. Computer-generated banding schedules 3. Requests for permit revisions 4. Request to not band certain birds 5. BBL slide file needs 6. Permit inactivation 7. A new bride 8. Inland Bird Banding Association meeting I. A tabulation of 1981 banding totals and 1977 banding and recovery totals of species is enclosed. These data are provided primarily to aid in research planning. We may be able to revise this report next year and ask now for suggestions from banders about what data would be most useful to them. 2. Banders may computer-produce banding schedules for the BBL. Any computer- or mini computer-generated schedules (with or without cards or tape) must be BBL-approved in advance of actual schedule submission to the BBL. 3. Please inform all subpermittees that any request for auxiliary marking authorization or changes in permits must come from the master bander. We want requests in writing, please. When requesting permits for a new subpermittee, please furnish the name of the person. We do not send out application forms with the applicant's name blank. 4. Banders are reminded not to use U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bands on resident game birds (Sp. No. 288 through 31 1.0). Do not band parakeets, rock doves and vultures, or unidentifiable migratory birds such as Empidonax flycatchers, and certain warblers, gulls, and ducks. 5. We would appreciate slides of auxiliary markers from various projects. Slides of markers and of markers on birds are needed for our files. We could also use slides illustrating ageing and/or sexing techniques of raptors and waterfowl to use in illustrating the techniques in the Bird Banding Manual, Vol. II. 6. We prefer not to inactivate permits if you plan to resume banding within two years. 7. Please note change of name for our Contact Representative Florence Kimmel to Florence Soehnlein. 8. The 1983 Inland Bird Banding Association meeting will be in Platteville, Wisconsin, September 30-October 2.
