The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: 

An Integrated Scientific Program Supporting Research 

and Conservation of North American Birds

By Gregory J. Smith

Abstract 

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding 

Laboratory (BBL) was established in 1920 after ratification 

of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act with the United Kingdom 

in 1918. During World War II, the BBL was moved from 

Washington, D.C., to what is now the USGS Patuxent Wildlife 

Research Center (PWRC). The BBL issues permits and bands 

to permittees to band birds, records bird band recoveries or 

encounters primarily through telephone and Internet reporting, 

and manages more than 72 million banding records and more 

than 4.5 million records of encounters using state-of-the-art 

technologies. Moreover, the BBL also issues bands and manages banding and encounter data for the Canadian Bird Banding Office (BBO). Each year approximately 1 million bands 

are shipped from the BBL to banders in the United States and 

Canada, and nearly 100,000 encounter reports are entered into 

the BBL systems. Banding data are essential for regulatory 

programs, especially migratory waterfowl harvest regulations.

The USGS BBL works closely with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) to develop regulations for the capture, handling, banding, and marking of birds. These regulations are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 

In 2006, the BBL and the USFWS Division of Migratory Bird 

Management (DMBM) began a comprehensive revision of the 

banding regulations.

The bird banding community has three major constituencies: Federal and State agency personnel involved in the 

management and conservation of bird populations that include 

the Flyway Councils, ornithological research scientists, and 

avocational banders.

With increased demand for banding activities and 

relatively constant funding, a Federal Advisory Committee 

(Committee) was chartered and reviewed the BBL program 

in 2005. The final report of the Committee included six major 

goals and 58 specific recommendations, 47 of which have 

been addressed by the BBL. Specifically, the Committee 

recommended the BBL continue to support science, conservation, and management of birds through the use of banding 

and banding data and that the BBL be managed by the USGS 

and located at the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center 

(PWRC) in Laurel, Maryland. Recommendations that have not 

been implemented include those already addressed by other 

organizations, as well as lower priority, such as developing a 

BBL business plan.

The comprehensive review and recommendations of the 

Committee, the response of the BBL to address the Committee’s recommendations, and other improvements to its 

operations have positioned the BBL to provide a high level of 

service to the banding community. As new technologies are 

developed and incorporated into BBL operations, further efficiencies are expected to enable the BBL to continue to meet 

emerging scientific needs.

Introduction

Comprehensive Review of the Bird Banding 

Laboratory 

Bird banding and marking are scientific methods used 

to determine location, range, population size, migration, 

behavior, and other parameters for avian species and specific 

populations. First determined as a Federal responsibility for 

migratory birds in 1920, the BBL was originally located in 

Washington, D.C., and was later moved to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) in Laurel, Maryland, during 

World War II. Bird banding and the U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) have become critical 

assets for managing waterfowl and other migratory gamebird 

populations, assisting in the recovery of Federally endangered 

and threatened species, supporting ornithological research 

activities, and promoting the conservation of migratory birds.

The BBL provides bands at no cost to permitted banders in the U.S. and Canada. Currently (2013), approximately 

1,630 Master Banders hold permits and approximately 5,050 

banders hold subpermits. The BBL issues approximately 1 

million bands and receives about 100,000 reports of banded 

birds or encounters each year. The BBL manages the banding 
2 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

data for Canada as well, and the database now includes more 

than 72 million banding records and 4.5 million encounter 

records. These data complement the related databases managed and analyzed by the USGS PWRC that include the North 

American Phenology Network with 6 million records and 

the North American Breeding Bird Survey with 78 million 

records. Having these large-scale databases within the USGS 

and associated with USGS landscape assets, such as the USGS 

Landsat 8, creates scientific synergy for avian ecological 

research that is available nowhere else.

Over the past 93 years, the BBL has evolved to keep 

pace with the increased volume of banding data produced by 

the banding community, has improved the variety of bands 

available to support a wide array of banding projects, and 

has adopted new technologies that will allow for improved 

management and analysis of data and address new research 

challenges. As a scientific agency, the USGS has supported an 

integrated scientific approach to meet the emerging challenges 

and demands of the scientific community.

To address challenges to meet emerging scientific needs 

and advances in technology, in 2005 the Directors of the 

USGS and USFWS chartered a 14-member Federal Advisory 

Committee to define a vision for the BBL over the next 10 to 

15 years. This independent committee and a subcommittee 

charged with writing a report met seven times from 2005 to 

2006. The committee produced a published report, Haseltine 

and others (2008)—U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Circular 

1320—that resulted in two primary recommendations:

1. “...the primary role of the BBL should continue 

to support the use of banding and banding data by 

researchers and managers engaged in science, conservation, and management of birds...”

2. “...the BBL be managed nationally by USGS 

Headquarters as a research and operational support 

unit and provided with resources appropriate to its 

national and international functions...” and “...

continue to be physically located at the Patuxent 

Wildlife Research Center...”

This independent committee, chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), recognized the importance 

of BBL responsibilities as part of the scientific community 

and as part of a scientific agency, the USGS. Moreover, the 

Committee also saw the benefit of the continued institutional 

organization of the BBL as a national research and operations 

program managed nationally and physically located at the 

PWRC. Committee membership represented a diverse array of 

nongovernmental organizations, professional societies, universities, and U.S. and Canadian agencies. The time, funds, and 

expertise dedicated to this review, report, and recommendations were substantial, and the findings and recommendations 

chart a course for the BBL for the next 10 to 15 years. 

Purpose and Scope

This report provides a comprehensive synthesis of the 

changes and new procedures implemented by the USGS Bird 

Banding Laboratory in response to the 2008 report issued by 

the Federal Advisory Committee (Haseltine and others, 2008) 

to define a vision for the BBL over the next 10 to 15 years 

(see appendix 1). It describes the response of the BBL to the 

recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee as well 

as the integral scientific role of the BBL in the avian ecological scientific enterprise.

Bird Banding Laboratory Stakeholders

The bird banding community is a diverse constituency 

representing a variety of interests and activities. The major 

stakeholder groups represented in the BBL Federal Advisory 

Committee included:

• The Ornithological Council

• The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

• Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology

• The Institute for Bird Populations

• Colorado State University

• Canadian Wildlife Service

• National Audubon Society

• Ducks Unlimited

• The Wildlife Society

• North American Banding Council

• The Conservation Fund

• Pheasants Forever

The composition of this community has changed in 

recent decades, from a preponderance of private citizens 

banding birds as an avocation to a much larger representation by agency biologists and academic research scientists. 

At this time, the bird banding community is nearly equally 

divided among three general stakeholder groups that are 

enumerated below.

Bird Management and Conservation Agencies

The BBL has a long history of direct communication and 

involvement with the four Flyway Councils and their associated joint technical committees. The Flyway Councils are 
Recent Bird Banding Laboratory Advancements and U.S. Geological Survey Investments 3

composed of representatives from each State wildlife management agency. Although, whereas they were initially developed 

to coordinate the management of waterfowl and other harvested game bird populations, in recent years they have added 

nongame sections to their technical committees to address the 

regional management of all groups of birds. The BBL sends 

representatives to the Flyway joint technical committee meetings each winter to provide annual updates on BBL activities, 

and is regularly involved in regional banding-related issues for 

game and nongame birds. Given the importance of banding 

data for the management of migratory game bird populations, 

the BBL has a staff biologist position that is dedicated as a 

liaison with the Flyway Councils in order to provide a direct 

communication link with the BBL and to facilitate issuing permits and permit authorizations needed to conduct the required 

management and conservation activities.

In addition to working with the Flyway Councils, the 

BBL also regularly communicates with Federal agencies 

involved with bird banding activities. The BBL has a long history of supporting bird banding on USFWS wildlife refuges, 

primarily for managing migratory game bird populations, 

but also for conservation of nongame birds. The banding and 

marking of birds is integral for the conservation and recovery 

of Federally listed endangered and threatened species, and 

the BBL has actively supported these activities for decades. 

In addition to the USFWS, the BBL supports banding activities on lands managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Defense as well as wildlife 

management activities conducted by Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS). A BBL staff biologist also serves 

as a liaison with these Federal agencies.

Research Scientists

The BBL has supported a wide variety of ornithological 

research activities for decades. With recent advances in marking technologies, scientists are increasingly requesting BBL 

permits to conduct cutting-edge research on many aspects of 

avian ecology such as using satellite transmitters to track bird 

movements over large landscapes and small data loggers to 

remotely record information on activity patterns, physiological condition, and other aspects of avian biology. In addition 

to these types of projects, bird banding and marking are also 

essential in various studies of avian behavior, ecotoxicology, and population dynamics. These studies require an array 

of permitting and auxiliary marking authorizations that are 

provided by the BBL and are considerably more complex than 

traditional banding studies.

Most of these research scientists are associated with academic institutions. These research activities are also conducted 

by Federal government agencies including the USGS, the 

USDA, The Smithsonian Institution, and the USFWS. In addition, nongovernmental organizations, State wildlife agencies, 

and even private consulting firms are now (2013) involved in 

research activities that are supported by the BBL.

Avocational Banders

Citizens who conduct banding as an avocation remain 

an important component of the banding community. These 

banders continue to provide data on the changing status of and 

trends in bird populations across the U.S. and Canada and to 

document the movement patterns of birds across the continent. 

Some banders conduct research that is published in the peerreviewed literature, and many contribute to local and regional 

publications. These banders are becoming increasingly 

involved in collaborative projects designed to address largescale conservation concerns, such as the Monitoring Avian 

Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) project coordinated 

by the Institute for Bird Populations, which obtains data from 

hundreds of avocational banders and Project Owl-net designed 

to improve our knowledge of the migratory movements of 

small owls.

Avocational banders have traditionally been associated 

with one of the three regional bird banding associations—the 

Eastern, Western, and Inland Bird Banding Associations. As 

funding allows, the BBL participates in the annual meetings of 

these associations to provide updates on BBL activities and to 

receive input from these stakeholder groups.

Recent Bird Banding Laboratory 

Advancements and U.S. Geological 

Survey Investments

Highlights of recent BBL advancements include:

• The conversion of 4.5 million paper and microfilm 

encounter records to digital format, an investment 

amounting to nearly $1 million and resulting in the 

availability of most reported band encounters in electronic format (2010).

• The launch of a new Internet-based band-reporting program allowing bands to be reported online rather than 

through the costly toll-free telephone system (2012).

• A new data system that allows for recapture information to be incorporated in the BBL database. This system is essential for the analysis of new, more sophisticated capture-recapture data to assess the population 

dynamics of sensitive species such as the American 

Black Duck and Laysan Albatross. Studies are currently underway to provide USFWS managers with 

cutting-edge information (2013).

• The complete transformation of the 72-million-record 

dataset to a relational database that supports detailed 

scientific analyses (2006).

These recent transformations to more scientifically 

and technologically advanced systems have supported the 
4 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

scientific community and avian research in addition to meeting 

the regulatory needs of migratory bird harvest programs. BBL 

integration into major ecological events such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster and Hurricane Sandy continue 

to drive innovation in banding and encounter data management and analyses. Since 2000, more than 1,500 scientific 

publications have used BBL data and capabilities to continually improve the state of our knowledge about migratory bird 

populations in North America (see appendix 2).

In addition to the two primary recommendations, the 

Committee developed six broad goals for the BBL. These six 

goals were broken down into 23 objectives, with 58 specific 

recommendations as to how to achieve those objectives (see 

Appendix 1 for a complete listing). The five highest priority 

objectives out of the 23 are identified and the actions taken 

by the BBL to address the specific recommendations to meet 

those objectives are as follows:

1. To ensure a continuing and adequate supply of highquality, Federally issued numeric bands of required 

sizes, materials, and types.

BBL actions: Currently (2013), the BBL maintains a 

2-year supply of all band types including hard-metal 

bands, representing an inventory of approximately 

$350,000. 

2. To improve mechanisms for verifying, accepting, 

storing, and managing bird banding data.

BBL actions: The BBL has converted to an entirely 

electronic processing system for banding data 

through the use of the BANDIT software. It is 

continuously improving the data-quality-control 

processes to more efficiently handle large volumes 

of data without sacrificing data quality.

3. To accommodate recapture data.

BBL actions: The BBL has developed the software 

and data architecture to store and facilitate the analyses of recapture data, beginning with the long-term 

population monitoring data for breeding Laysan and 

Black-footed Albatross as a prototype and expanding this system to address emerging studies of the 

American Black Duck. 

4. To ensure through the permitting process that banders know how to safely handle birds, collect data 

accurately, and maintain birds in humane and healthful conditions.

BBL actions: The BBL implemented an electronic 

permit renewal process in 2011 that has greatly 

reduced the time required to renew banding permits. 

Its permit office, which handles more than 7,000 

permit actions annually, is continuously improving 

the efficiency of its operations. Knowledge of the 

safe and humane handling of birds is one of several 

important factors used during the evaluation of permit applications. 

5. To encourage the development of banding programs 

in Latin America and the Caribbean.

BBL actions: Currently (2013), the BBL is closely 

coordinating with the Mexican government concerning the development of a Mexican bird banding 

program. It remains actively engaged in efforts to 

develop bird banding programs throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Of the 58 specific recommendations, 47 have been 

addressed and operational efficiencies have been greatly 

improved. Highlights of these 47 actions include—

• The BBL now maintains a 2- to 2.5-year supply of all 

band types. 

• The BBL has worked closely with the banding community to create new band sizes in demand such as 

1D (for shrikes and other passerines), 5A (for wood 

ducks), and 9A (for eagles).

• The BBL has developed a new Web site for reporting 

of auxiliary marker sightings.

• The BBL data-management system is now (2013) 

regularly modified to improve the automation and 

efficiency of banding data processing as new needs 

are identified.

• The BBL is working cooperatively with the USFWS to 

develop a prototype recapture database for Albatross 

and the American Black Duck. This new system will 

be used to manage recapture data collected by banders 

and will include changes to the BANDIT software.

• A new Reportband (http://www.reportband.gov/) 

Web site for reporting encounter data was released 

in 2013. This Web site allows immediate feedback to 

the reporter provided that the banding data have been 

submitted, and promotes the use of Web-based maps 

to improve the accuracy of location information and 

improvements to other data-quality-control processes.

• In 2012, the printing of Certificates of Appreciation for 

band reporting was automated; the certificates are now 

are sent electronically, substantially reducing costs 

of postage.
Recent Bird Banding Laboratory Advancements and U.S. Geological Survey Investments 5

• With funding obtained through the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), approximately 4.5 million hard-copy records were converted to digital files. 

• The BBL is currently (2013) working with the USGS 

Core Science Systems to provide public access to U.S. 

banding data through the BISON Web site. In fiscal 

year 2013, data files will be transformed to the appropriate format for BISON (http://bison.usgs.ornl.gov/).

• A new streamlined form, which has been well received 

by the banding community, was recently (2013) created for the permit-renewal process.

• In January 2013, an agreement was signed between 

the USGS and the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) 

detailing the joint operation of, and listing the roles 

and responsibilities of, the U.S. and Canadian banding offices.

Of the 58 specific recommendations, 11 were only partially addressed, for practical reasons, as follows:

• Recommendations 1.3.b and 2.1.f: Build capacity to 

store data from nonstan¬dard bird markers.

BBL response: The BBL did not address this recommendation because a new international program, 

Movebank (www.movebank.org), has been created 

specifically to manage these data. BBL actions in this 

area would be a duplication of effort.

• Recommendations 2.2.a, 2.2.b, and 2.2.c: These three 

recommendations focused on developing and maintaining metadata associated with banding data.

BBL response: The BBL recognizes that metadata provide value in describing datasets. However, metadata 

are not widely used by the public and many large data 

systems do not have metadata files. With respect to 

gaining operational efficiencies and science support, 

the priority of these recommendations is low.

• Recommendation 3.1.b. Develop a system to notify 

banders when their data are accessed so they have the 

ability to contact the person who downloaded the data.

BBL response: The Privacy Act precludes implementation of this recommendation.

• Recommendation 3.1.c. In consultation with banders and users of banding data, review and revise the 

current policy for use of band¬ing data, and require all 

data users to agree to this policy.

BBL response: Because BBL data are in the public 

domain, BBL cannot legally restrict their use. The BBL 

and CWS have revised their data-release policies that 

provide voluntary guidance on the use of banding data, 

but all data maintained by the BBL are openly available for public use.

• Recommendation 3.2.a. Maintain an up-to-date Web 

site with resource information (including links to other 

Web sites) on best practices for data collection and 

data analysis.

BBL response: This information is already available 

through a variety of other Web sites.

• Recommendation 4.1.c. Develop an online, selfadministered test to ensure that banders applying for 

permits are aware of and under¬stand relevant regulations, animal welfare concerns, the banders’ Code of 

Ethics, methods for coding and recording data, and 

other matters that do not require physically handling 

a bird.

BBL response: The North American Banding Council 

(NABC) has assumed responsibility for implementing 

this recommendation.

• Recommendation 4.1.d. Use the permit renewal 

process to ensure that banders continue to be aware of 

current banding standards and practices.

BBL response: Implementation of this recommendation would require a change in the Federal regulations 

that apply to bird banding and migratory bird permits. 

Action on this recommendation is not anticipated in 

the foreseeable future.

• Recommendation 6.2.a. Develop a business plan for 

the BBL.

BBL response: The BBL will develop this plan when 

business plans at the Mission Area and Region are 

finalized, and can provide context.

Permits

The BBL permit office handles more than 7,000 permit 

actions annually (new, renewed, inactivated, and modified 

authorizations) and issues 50 to 100 new Master permits and 

200 to more than 300 new subpermits annually.
6 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

Evaluating applications for banding permits requires 

careful consideration with respect to the requester’s banding 

experiences and his or her qualifications for the humane capture and handling of birds as well as the public benefit from 

the proposed banding activities. This evaluation has become 

more important in light of increased public concern over 

animal welfare issues in general and the specific effects of bird 

banding activities on migratory bird populations.

Of the 273 permit requests received during 2008-12, 

approximately 16 percent were not issued. The reasons for 

denying banding permit applications fall into three categories 

that have existed for decades:

1. The applicant lacks the necessary banding experience for the requested authorizations (unqualified).

2. The applicant’s proposed banding project(s) are 

insufficient to support issuing a permit. In most 

cases, the proposed projects are vague or lack sufficient scientific merit. In a few cases, they unnecessarily duplicate existing banding projects (poor 

justification).

3. The proposed banding activities are already covered by an existing Master permit and the applicant 

can conduct these activities under that permit. An 

example would be a graduate student working on 

a USFWS wildlife refuge who can conduct the 

proposed project as a subpermittee under the refuge 

permit. In these cases, although the Master permit 

application is denied, the applicant can still conduct 

the banding activities (existing permit).

In some cases, enthusiastic avocational banders propose 

to capture and band thousands of songbirds annually in order 

to monitor migratory events at known concentration locations. 

However, these “high-volume” banding activities typically 

contribute little new knowledge of the status of migratory 

bird populations while extremely low encounter rates of these 

banded birds provide very few insights into avian movement 

patterns. In contrast, banding activities in support of wildlife 

management programs, such as waterfowl banding, provide 

essential data in support of the missions of Federal and State 

wildlife agencies while banding by the research community 

results in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications annually 

that greatly expand our ornithological knowledge. As recommended in the Committee report, the focus of the BBL has 

been to support the banding programs of scientists and managers while placing less emphasis on new “high-volume” banding operations that have limited scientific potential.

Funding

The BBL continues to improve operational efficiency and 

serve the banding community despite relatively “flat” funding over several years (fig. 1). Salaries have been the major 

expense (fig. 2) despite a reduction in BBL staff from 21 fulltime equivalents (FTEs) and 3 contractors in 2007 to 15 FTEs 

and 2 full-time contractors in 2013. The smaller staff continues to effectively manage both the U.S. and Canadian banding 

programs, which have not diminished in size and scope.

To compensate for this “flat” funding and reduced staff, 

the BBL has implemented many operational efficiencies during the past decade that have allowed many functions to be 

automated. With 47 of the 58 recommendations of the Federal 

Advisory Committee implemented, the BBL has done a credible job modernizing its operations while maintaining cost 

control. Moreover, the USGS has been able to opportunistically invest in advancing the technology through specific initiatives, such as digitizing encounter records by using funding 

provided by the ARRA.

Conclusions

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a nonregulatory 

and noncommercial scientific agency that acquires, analyzes, 

synthesizes, and disseminates data for the benefit of the 

Nation. The North American Bird Banding Laboratory at the 

USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) manages 

bird banding activities and data that are essential to Federal 

and State regulatory decisions supporting bird conservation. A 

2005 comprehensive review of the Bird Banding Laboratory 

(BBL) reaffirmed its mission to continue to support science, 

conservation, and management of birds at the PWRC under 

USGS leadership.

As a major program of the Nation’s largest water, earth, 

and biological science and civilian mapping, the BBL and its 

operations have greatly benefitted from new technologies and 

research activities within the USGS. Moreover, USGS science 

continues to guide and direct the use of cutting-edge banding and marking techniques to improve the management and 

conservation of migratory bird populations. 

Under USGS scientific stewardship and by making effective use of its capabilities, the BBL has increasingly focused 

on providing data to diverse scientific partners through greater 

accessibility of the more than 72 million banding records. 

The USGS has established expertise in collecting and curating large databases for understanding our natural world, such 

as imaging produced by Landsat, real-time streamflow data, 

and the Breeding Bird Survey. By following this model, the 

BBL has coupled banding data with stable-isotope analysis, 

satellite telemetry, and other research tools to provide the critical capabilities needed to understand changes in bird populations and migration in the context of ecological change at the 

landscape level.

Scientific research is inextricably coupled to the mission 

and functionality of the BBL. The strong, impartial scientific 

role of the USGS in supporting natural-resource management 

decisions makes it the appropriate organization to manage 

bird-banding operations.

Objective 1.1: Ensure a continuing adequate supply of high-quality Federally issued numeric bird bands 

of required sizes, materials, and types. HIGH PRIORITY

Recommendation 1.1.a. Develop procedures to ensure that an adequate supply of high-quality bands of all types, 

materials, and sizes can be maintained in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. These should include greater diversification of band suppli¬ers and development of in-house quality controls through random checks of bands.

• The BBL currently maintains a 2- to 2.5-year supply of all band types.

• The BBL has developed a band quality-control plan that is followed for each shipment of bands received from the 

suppliers. All problems identified during the quality-control process or through reports from banders are resolved 

through communication with the suppliers.

• Following USGS acquisition guidelines, one company currently supplies bands for the BBL.

Recommendation 1.1.b. Establish processes to determine the need for new band types and sizes, and ensure that 

appropriate band types are both available and used for each species (for example, ensure that hard-metal bands are 

available and used on species that regularly outlive aluminum bands, and that appropriate bands are available for birds 

that frequent salt-water environments).

• The BBL maintains in-stock hard-metal bands for sizes 2 and above.

• New band sizes that have been recently created include 1D (for shrikes and other passerines), 5A (for wood ducks), 

and 9A (for eagles). The BBL works with the banding community to identify the need for new band sizes and then 

creates bands to meet these needs. 
Appendix 1. Summary of Activities in Response to the Recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee Report 11

Objective 1.2: Facilitate coordination of auxiliary markers.

Recommendation 1.2.a. Ensure effective coordination of the use of auxiliary markers amongst banders—regionally, 

nationally, and internationally—within the Americas. Develop tools, such as Web sites and Web-based databases, 

where projects can be registered to facilitate coordination. The tools should allow users (banders, public reporters, 

researchers, wildlife managers, and BBL staff) to independently send and retrieve information. As much as possible, 

implement through delegation to partners with expertise in particular bird groups, with BBL providing oversight for 

the resolution of disputes or other problems as required.

• Auxiliary marker information is coordinated between the BBL and Bird Banding Office (Canada) on a regular basis. 

For species of birds with hemispheric distributions (shorebirds), the BBL has partnered with the shorebird community to develop a unified marking system. Similar coordination occurs with the waterfowl management community, 

which is responsible for the marking programs for this group. 

Recommendation 1.2.b. Require that all auxiliary marker data submitted to the BBL be in a format that can be incorporated into the BBL database so that the BBL can build an accurate, complete database. There are some species for 

which auxiliary marking is the primary and most effective way of collecting information. For these birds it is essential 

that the data be submitted in a specified format.

• Current versions of the BANDIT software store auxiliary marker data in standard formats that are automatically 

submitted to the BBL with the banding data.

Recommendation 1.2.c. With regard to encounters of auxiliary markers, the BBL should: (1) emphasize maximum 

automation with little or no direct staff involvement, (2) focus on putting reporters directly in touch with banders to 

transfer and receive information, and (3) require large-scale marking projects (at a minimum) to assume responsibility 

for managing and coordinating their encoun¬ter data and (or) commit resources (for a Web developer) to BBL to offset 

costs incurred for these activities. To accomplish this, the BBL should: (1) provide a communication mechanism 

for informa¬tion to be submitted by, and be available to, reporters of auxiliary marking encounters (“sightings”); (2) 

develop tools, such as Web sites, list servers, and Web-based databases, where auxiliary marker projects are registered, 

and reporters can be directed to file their sightings and obtain information about marked birds; and (3) design systems 

to accept all sightings of auxiliary-marked birds from the public and provide some level of feedback to the reporter, 

regardless of bander and (or) BBL interest.

• The BBL has developed a Web site for reporting of auxiliary marker sightings and is currently working to improve 

the automation for processing these data. As more auxiliary marker data are submitted through BANDIT, the BBL 

will be in a better position to begin implementing automated feedback systems to the reporter of marked birds.

Recommendation 1.2.d. Ensure banders and BBL can receive auxiliary-marking encounter information. Report to 

banders those auxiliary marker encounters that can be unambiguously linked with a unique band number and for 

which the bander who placed the auxiliary marker has an interest in knowing of public sight¬ings. Encounters of 

markers that are not linked with a unique band number, or even to a specific bander, should be made available for 

consideration on a Web site or list server.

• The BBL has dedicated a staff position to providing reports of marked birds to the banders and dealing with related 

issues. Efforts to improve the efficiency of this process are ongoing.

Objective 1.3: Accommodate new methods and technologies for marking birds.

Recommendation 1.3.a. Remain cognizant of the development of new bird-marking techniques and technologies, 

including appropriate evaluation of their impact on bird welfare, and ensure that information on their safe use is accessible and appropriately dis¬seminated.

• The BBL is in regular communication with the banding community concerning the use of new technologies for 

marking birds.
12 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

Recommendation 1.3.b. Build capacity to store data from nonstan¬dard bird markers, including data collected by 

automated means, such as satellite transmitters, if such centralized data storage is not otherwise available. Emphasis 

should be placed on data that may contribute to the management and conservation of birds through integration or 

coordination across projects.

• Movebank is an international program coordinating the storage of data collected through us of satellite transmitters, 

data loggers, and other automatic recorders. The program is based in Germany but accepts global data from these 

sources. There is no need for the BBL to duplicate or compete with these efforts.

Objective 1.4: Encourage development of new methods for capturing and marking birds in ways that 

improve bird welfare.

Recommendation 1.4.a. Develop appropriate guidelines that encour¬age banders to evaluate and develop new and 

innovative methods for capturing and marking birds. Encourage submission of reports on injuries or mortalities related 

to new methods, with clarification that banders will not risk permit revocation or suspension if mortali¬ties or injuries 

occur, provided that appropriate guidelines are followed. However, restrict the use of capture methods or markers 

based on potential impacts only when those impacts are serious, long lasting or permanent, well documented, and 

unequivocal.

• The BBL continues to provide guidance on the development of innovative methods for capturing and marking birds, 

and encourages the reporting of these studies in the peer-reviewed literature. Authorization of these experimental 

techniques is always done with appropriate concern for the welfare of the birds.

Recommendation 1.4.b. Develop mechanisms, potentially through partners, to gather information from banders on 

bird welfare issues associated with particular capture or marking methods.

• The BBL supported efforts by University of Connecticut researchers to document potential animal welfare issues 

associated with use of radio transmitters on birds. Results of this study were presented during the 2009 American 

Ornithologists’ Union meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Objective 2.1: Improve mechanisms for verifying, accepting, storing, and managing bird banding data. 

HIGH PRIORITY

Recommendation 2.1.a. Improve the efficiency of submitting banding schedules through use of appropriate Internet 

technol¬ogy, and an automated system to vet submitted data for accuracy. This should include flags in the database 

that indicate the level to which data have been vetted, as well as user-friendly automated procedures to communicate 

with banders regarding questionable data and to receive input from banders. Inform banders that they have the primary 

responsibility for verifying data, initially through programs provided to banders (for example, Band Manager, Bandit, 

or MAPSPROG), and then subsequently through responding to automated reports from the banding office. Minimize 

the need for personal interaction between BBL staff and banders regarding questionable data.

• This is an ongoing process that is conducted with the release of each new version of the BANDIT software, which is 

shifting more of the burden for data quality control to the bander.

• The BBL data-management system is regularly modified to improve the automation and efficiency of banding data 

processing as new needs are identified by BBL staff.

Recommendation 2.1.b. Accept location information, including GPS data, to a higher level of precision than currently 

required by the BBL. The BBL should always require that the cooperator report the actual level of precision of the 

location data.

• BANDIT software currently allows banding data to be submitted at several levels of precision, including exact coordinates obtained from GPS systems.

Recommendation 2.1.c. Collect and store auxiliary marker data, including appropriate metadata describing the types 

of markers used.
Appendix 1. Summary of Activities in Response to the Recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee Report 13

• BANDIT software has been modified to store and automatically submit auxiliary marker data with the banding data.

Recommendation 2.1.d. Ensure that all digital data, including archived data, are maintained in an appropriate, up-todate format so that they will not be lost as technology changes.

• The BBL follows USGS and Federal data-storage and -archiving standards to ensure that these data are maintained 

in up-to-date formats.

Recommendation 2.1.e. Allow for flexible timing of submission of banding schedules as appropriate to meet the 

needs of the BBL and banders.

• BANDIT software currently allows banders to submit their data electronically at any time, including making multiple submissions per year.

Recommendation 2.1.f. Build the capacity to store data from nonstandard bird markers, including data collected by 

automated means, such as satellite transmitters, if such centralized storage is not otherwise available. Emphasis should 

be placed on data that may contribute to the management and conservation of birds through integration or coordination 

across projects.

• Movebank is an international program that coordinates the storage of data collected through us of satellite transmitters, data loggers, and other automatic recorders. The program is based in Germany but accepts global data from 

these sources. There is no need for the BBL to duplicate or compete with these efforts.

Objective 2.2: Develop appropriate systems to store and maintain metadata associated with banding 

data.

• At this time (2013), the BBL has not taken action on the recommendations for this objective.

Recommendation 2.2.a. Use FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Com¬mittee) metadata standards, as appropriate, for 

all metadata associ¬ated with banding records.

Recommendation 2.2.b. Consult with appropriate experts to determine the types of metadata about the context of 

banding (for example, project objectives, methods, effort, and so on) that could and should be stored centrally and how 

they should be recorded.

Recommendation 2.2.c. Develop a system to accommodate the metadata recommended in 2.2.b by providing training 

and educa¬tional materials and user-friendly tools for metadata submission in order to encourage banders to submit 

such data.

Objective 2.3: Accommodate recapture data. HIGH PRIORITY

Recommendation 2.3.a. Develop an automated system for sub¬mitting, vetting, and accepting all recapture data into 

the BBL database, and encourage all banders to submit recapture data, including historical data, through this system, unless it is already being submitted through another program such as MAPS. Concur¬rently, require banders to 

submit metadata associated with the recapture programs under which those recaptures were recorded (again, unless it 

is already being reported), as recapture data with¬out associated metadata are of questionable value and can easily be 

misused.

• The BBL is working cooperatively with the USFWS Region 1 Migratory Birds Management Office on a project to 

develop a recapture database for albatross data collected from the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, in 

FY 2013 the BBL will begin to create a system to manage recapture data collected by banders. This process will 

include modifications to the current BBL data-management system as well as major changes to the BANDIT software to allow for the proper management and submission of these data to the BBL. The changes to the BBL datamanagement system should be completed during FY 2013, whereas a new version of the BANDIT software may be 

released during FY 2014 to allow banders to begin submitting their recapture data to the BBL.
14 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

Objective 2.4: Create an archive for storing voluntarily submitted ancillary and associated data.

Recommendation 2.4.a. Develop automated systems for submission, vetting, and acceptance of voluntarily submitted 

ancillary data (and associated metadata, including information on data quality control), noting that the responsibility 

for data quality control resides with the bander. Remind banders that these data will be available to the public.

• The BANDIT software allows for the management of these ancillary data. Some data-quality functions have been 

incorporated to improve the vetting of some of these fields, but better data-quality-control procedures need to be 

developed before these data will be of sufficient quality to be submitted to the BBL. Improvements to these dataquality-control procedures is an ongoing process with each new version of the software.

Objective 2.5: Continue to improve the efficiency of methods for receiving encounter information 

to enhance the quality of informa¬tion received and reduce the costs of processing encounters, while 

encouraging greater reporting.

Recommendation 2.5.a. Develop and promote Web-based, auto¬mated reporting of band recovery data, with appropriate checks to ensure that all required data are submitted, and provide immediate feedback to the person reporting 

the band. Offer finders the option of an electronic or paper “Certificate of Appreciation.”

• A new Reportband (www.reportband.gov) Web site for reporting encounter data was released in 2013. New functions of this Web site include providing immediate feedback to the reporter as long as the banding data have been 

submitted to the BBL, use of Web-based maps to improve the accuracy of location information, and improvements 

to other data-quality-control processes. In August 2012, the BBL shifted to entirely electronic Certificates of Appreciation, a step that improved the availability of these certificates while substantially reducing costs to the BBL.

Recommendation 2.5.b. Begin to include a Web address on bands to enhance Web-based automated reporting of 

recovery. Promote Web reporting to reduce errors and costs; however, in the near term, continue to support the use of 

toll-free numbers for report¬ing bands. Investigate the costs and benefits of an automated telephone system to capture 

data using touch-tone technology that could simultaneously handle English, French, and Spanish, to reduce the costs 

of processing calls.

• All bands procured by the BBL now have the Web address printed on them. As supplies of older band types are 

depleted, only Web-address bands will be supplied to banders in the future. Use of the 1-800 telephone number to 

report bands continues, but because of the complexity associated with obtaining this information, converting to an 

entirely touch-tone system is not feasible at this time (2013).

Objective 2.6: Ensure the preservation and eventual computeriza¬tion of historical (nondigitized) 

banding data currently stored at the BBL.

Recommendation 2.6.a. Arrange immediately for proper physical storage of the original records (in consultation with 

the National Archives and Records Administration) to ensure that they are adequately protected and do not deteriorate.

• The BBL has been in contact with NARA about the proper care and disposition of its paper records and is following 

all appropriate Federal standards.

Recommendation 2.6.b. Investigate appropriate ways of making these data available digitally in the future, considering options such as digitizing the data through the BBL (perhaps in a cost-sharing program with interested users), or 

scanning the records as images so that they can be distributed to interested third parties to capture digitally.

• The BBL received funding during 2009 to convert hard-copy band encounter records to digital files. This project 

was completed in September 2010, with approximately 4 million images created of these records. This project 

addresses both recommendations below. The BANDIT files submitting banding data to the BBL are currently 
Appendix 1. Summary of Activities in Response to the Recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee Report 15

archived on Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) computers. At this time (2013), only the paper banding 

schedules have not been digitized.

Objective 3.1: Develop a Web-based, user-friendly system to provide full and open access to all banding 

data and information, except where such information may be of a sensitive nature (for example, exact 

locations of endangered species), along with appro¬priate guidelines for use of the data.

Recommendation 3.1.a. Develop a Web-based, user-friendly interface to allow for public retrieval of bird-banding 

data. All data, including recent data, should be available, with the exception that locations for biologically or commercially sensitive species should be limited to province or state. The database should be updated at regular intervals 

(once or a few times per year) but not con¬tinuously, so that the download is dated. Use methods such as a passwordbased login, with an e-mail-based verification, to gather information on who is downloading data.

• The BBL is working with the USGS CDI program to provide public access to U.S. banding data through the BISON 

Web site that was recently launched by USGS. Banding datasets will be made available during 2013 as data files are 

transformed into the appropriate format that can be accommodated by BISON. Individual banding records will be 

made available through this publicly available Web site, which also provides access to data for other taxa of animals 

and plants. 

Recommendation 3.1.b. Develop a system to notify banders when their data are accessed so they have the ability to 

contact the person who downloaded the data.

• At this time (2013), the BBL has not taken action on this recommendation.

Recommendation 3.1.c. In consultation with banders and users of banding data, review and revise the current policy 

for use of band¬ing data, and require all data users to agree to this policy. The BBL should also encourage the adoption of this policy by ornithological societies and scientific journals as part of their scientific code of ethics.

• This recommendation does not reflect the fact that the BBL data are in the public domain and the BBL cannot 

legally restrict use of these data. The BBL and the Canadian Bird Banding Office have revised their data-release 

policies that provide voluntary guidance on the use of banding data, but all data maintained by the BBL are openly 

available for public use.

Objective 3.2: Encourage development, adoption, and sharing of best practices related to project design, 

data collection, and data analysis for banding projects.

Recommendation 3.2.a. Maintain an up-to-date Web site with resource information (including links to other Web 

sites) on best practices for data collection and data analysis. Encourage researchers to provide information for such a 

Web page. Ensure that users downloading data are aware of these approaches and methods.

• This information is already available on existing Web resources and the banding community can use existing searchengine technology to identify and access these sites. There is no need for the BBL to duplicate existing efforts with 

little or no value added.

Recommendation 3.2.b. Provide a technical assistance function within the BBL to advise banders and researchers on 

best practices in project design, field data collection, and data analysis when requested.

• The BBL is in regular communication with the banding community to provide guidance on banding project design 

and data collection. Questions on data analyses are typically directed toward USGS PWRC statisticians, who have 

considerable expertise in this area.

Objective 3.3: Encourage development of tools to make better use of banding data.
16 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

Recommendation 3.3.a. Work with partners to develop Web-based visualization tools that could be hosted on the 

BBL Web site to allow better use of banding data (for example, interactive Web-based mapping of band recovery 

data).

• The Smithsonian Institution is working collaboratively with the BBL to develop Web-based tools to summarize the 

movement of birds within the context of full life-cycle bird conservation. This project was initiated during fiscal 

year (FY) 2012. Some preliminary products may be available during FY 2013, but the full set of visualization tools 

may not be available until FY 2014 or later. The BBL is also working toward developing Web-based summaries of 

banding and band encounter data. The BBL hopes to start releasing some of these summaries during FY 2013, with 

continued releases as new summaries become available.

Objective 4.1: Without significantly increasing the number of master permits, base the decision on 

whether or not to issue master or subpermits on evidence that the applicant has the skills and knowl¬edge 

to capture and handle birds of the requested species safely, to collect appropriate data (including age and 

sex) for those species, and to submit data timely and accurately to the BBL. HIGH PRIORITY

Recommendation 4.1.a. Ensure, through the permitting process, that applicants know how to safely handle birds, 

maintain birds in humane and healthful conditions, and collect data accurately.

• The BBL permitting procedures have been consistent with this recommendation during recent decades.

Recommendation 4.1.b. Use a variety of tools to evaluate the qualifi¬cations of the bander, including the following: (1) Recommendations of people who have worked with the bander; (2) Information on experience handling 

birds and numbers of birds handled; (3) Evidence of bander training; (4) Information provided by the applicant; (5) 

Online testing; and (6) Demonstrated proficiency at identifying the birds to be banded.

• Most of these “tools” are already in use to evaluate the applicant’s qualifications. Development of online testing 

applications requires addressing a variety of complex administrative issues. Creating such a testing application is not 

anticipated in the short term. 

Recommendation 4.1.c. Develop an online, self-administered test to ensure that banders applying for permits are 

aware of and under¬stand relevant regulations, animal welfare concerns, the banders’ Code of Ethics, methods for 

coding and recording data, and other matters that do not require physically handling a bird.

• Developing online testing applications also requires creating appropriate training materials that can be reviewed 

before taking any test. The North American Banding Council (NABC) has assumed responsibility for developing 

training materials for the banding community and there is no need for the BBL to duplicate these efforts. The BBL 

cannot create a comprehensive online test until the NABC has developed these materials.

Recommendation 4.1.d. Use the permit renewal process to ensure that banders continue to be aware of current banding standards and practices, perhaps through updated Web-based testing, or completion of a questionnaire or checklist.

• The BBL has not taken action on this recommendation. Testing as a part of the permit renewal process would 

require changes to the Federal regulations that apply to bird banding permits, and such changes are not anticipated 

in the foreseeable future.

Recommendation 4.1.e. Require brief summaries of proposed band¬ing projects, but do not use these to decide 

whether or not to grant a permit.

• Banding project proposals have always been required of applicants and are typically used to determine the specific 

authorizations that need to be provided to the permittee.

Objective 4.2: Streamline the permit application process to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Recommendation 4.2.a. Develop a streamlined, online application system, including online submission of information on qualifications and letters of recommendation.
Appendix 1. Summary of Activities in Response to the Recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee Report 17

• The BBL created a streamlined form for the permit renewal process during FY 2011, a form that has been well 

received by the banding community. The BBL intends to develop a fully electronic application system. Because of 

funding and staffing limitations, work on developing an electronic permitting system will not begin until FY 2014 or 

FY 2015 at the earliest.

Recommendation 4.2.b. Issue permits for 3 years, and require all banders to actively renew their permits. As a prerequisite for renewal, demand up-to-date submission of all required banding data (for example, schedules).

• The BBL currently issues permits for 3 years and permit renewal is dependent on the bander’s resolving all of the 

“up for banding” requests from the BBL to ensure that banding data are submitted for all banded birds that have 

been reported by the public.

Recommendation 4.2.c. Establish, if feasible, a link with the Law Enforcement Management Information System 

(LEMIS) to deter¬mine if an applicant has been found guilty of a violation of a Federal wildlife law and use this information as a factor in determining whether or not to issue a permit.

• Federal computer security guidelines will not allow the BBL to develop a direct link to LEMIS at this time (2013).

Objective 4.3: Update regulations, policies, and guidance using best practices (including providing 

opportunity for public notice and comment) and clearly communicate the regulations, policies, and 

guidance to the community in writing.

Recommendation 4.3.a. Identify regulatory gaps (for example, use of radio and satellite transmitters, PIT tags, and 

issuing of subpermits) and revise regulations as needed. Regulations should allow the BBL to issue banding permits 

authorizing the taking of blood, feather, and cloacal samples.

• The BBL is currently in the process of revising relevant portions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that 

relate to bird banding.

Recommendation 4.3.b. Review and revise the North American Banding Manual to ensure that it clearly includes 

information on all policies, guidance, and regulations relevant to banding.

• The concept of a paper “North American Banding Manual” has become obsolete in this electronic era. The BBL 

Web site is evolving to provide the same information in an electronic format that can be easily updated as new information becomes available. A new BBL Web site was released during FY 2011 and is being revised and updated to 

meet the functions that were formerly served by the banding manual.

Objective 4.4: Ensure consistency in written regulations, policies, and practices regarding revocation 

and suspension decisions.

Recommendation 4.4.a. Develop and implement policies for revoca¬tion and suspension of permits that reflect 

the current regulations and that protect the proprietary interests of banders, while ensuring that banders follow best 

practices.

• These policies are established in the portions of the CFR that apply to all permits related to the enforcement of the 

Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and have been followed in the few instances where banding permits have been proposed 

for suspension or revocation.

Recommendation 4.4.b. If feasible, use available information on convictions of violations of wildlife laws to inform 

revocation and suspension decisions.
18 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

• This remains a standard practice of the BBL as defined in the appropriate sections of the CFR that apply to all 

migratory bird permits.

Objective 5.1: Work with partners to achieve shared goals and leverage available resources.

Recommendation 5.1.a. Involve partners in the creation of products and tools to meet the needs of the BBL and the 

partners and to deliver BBL messages.

• The BBL considers all constructive comments and suggestions that it receives from the banding community and others with an interest in its operations. For example, banders have provided a number of useful suggestions that were 

incorporated in improved versions of the BANDIT software. The Flyways receive annual updates on BBL activities 

and provide their comments on all aspects of the BBL program.

Recommendation 5.1.b. Maintain active interactions with banding schemes and organizations elsewhere in the world, 

such as EURING, AFRING, and the IOC standing committee on bird ring¬ing, and develop schemes in Latin America 

and the Caribbean to exchange and share experiences, expertise, and products.

• The BBL continues to interact with various international banding schemes/organizations to the extent possible under 

current budgets. Much of this interaction occurs through electronic communication.

Recommendation 5.1.c. Work with partners to identify key materials that promote ethics and bird welfare and proper 

capture, handling, and banding techniques for distribution by BBL. Use MTABs, the BBL Web site, permitting processes, workshops, and other com-munication tools.

• The BBL remains involved with the activities of the NABC and bird banding associations in ongoing efforts to 

address these issues.

Recommendation 5.1.d. Seek opportunities to augment BBL staff and resources through partnerships that further 

BBL’s mission.

• The collaborative effort with USFWS to develop a data-management system for recapture data is a recent example 

of using partnerships to further the mission of the lab, as is the collaborative project with The Smithsonian Institution to develop data-visualization tools.

Recommendation 5.1.e. Where appropriate, use formal agreements, reviewed and updated from time to time, to document intra- and intergovernmental partnerships and to define clear roles and responsibilities.

• A new agreement between the USGS and the Canadian Wildlife Service regarding the joint operation of the BBL 

and the BBO was signed in January 2013. This agreements defines the roles and responsibilities of both banding 

offices with regards to the operation of the North American Bird Banding Program.

Objective 5.2: Develop and implement a process that involves partners in advising the BBL.

Recommendation 5.2.a. Maintain and strengthen relationships with key Federal partners (for example, FWS).

• A representative from the USFWS Migratory Birds Management Division regularly attends meetings of the BBL 

management team to further communication between the two offices. BBL staff members attend annual meetings of 

the various Flyway Councils to further communication with important state agencies. These are just two examples 

of attempts to strengthen relationships with other government agencies.

Recommendation 5.2.b. Maintain a FAC composed similarly to but not necessarily the same as the current one, to 

monitor and advise the BBL on implementation of the recommendations of this report, and to maintain and enhance 

communication with and relationships between the BBL and its partners, stakeholders, and the broader bird-banding 

community.

• USGS decided not to establish a formal Federal Advisory Committee at this time (2013).
Appendix 1. Summary of Activities in Response to the Recommendations of the Federal Advisory Committee Report 19

Recommendation 5.2.c. Establish and maintain an open-door policy for partners and stakeholders. Consult to the 

extent possible with affected partners and stakeholders while making major operational decisions.

• The BBL has always maintained an open-door policy for stakeholders, but has also had to balance the often conflicting demands of the entire banding community. It will strive to improve communication as much as possible given 

current staffing shortages.

Recommendation 5.2.d. Provide for BBL presence at key partner and stakeholder meetings.

• BBL staff members attend meetings of the various bird banding associations, flyway councils, NABC, and other 

stakeholders to the extent possible under current budgets.

Objective 5.3: Encourage development of banding programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

HIGH PRIORITY

Recommendation 5.3.a. Play a central role in building capacity for bird-banding programs elsewhere in the Western 

Hemisphere. The BBL should be flexible in helping to develop Latin American and Caribbean banding schemes that 

are appropriate for the partners and feasible for the BBL, considering options ranging from inde¬pendent schemes that 

exchange data, to expanding the North American Bird Banding Program to include additional countries with agreements similar to that between Canada and the U.S.

• The BBL remains active in the development of the Western Hemisphere Bird Banding Network to better coordinate 

banding activities among the various banding programs in this hemisphere.

Recommendation 5.3.b. Allow the use of U.S. Federal bands on resident as well as migratory birds for projects 

within the American Ornithologists’ Union (AOU) checklist area, in consultation with the affected countries, subject 

to the same terms and conditions as are currently applied to projects banding migratory birds in these countries with 

U.S. bands. Specifically, the bander must qualify for and possess a permit in the U.S. or Canada, and must obtain 

appro¬priate permits to capture and handle birds in the country where banding will take place. The BBL must modify 

its database to be able to receive, process, and store data on these resident birds (but without investing heavily in datavetting procedures).

• USGS guidelines require the BBL to have formal international agreements with countries to allow the use of U.S. 

bird bands in those countries. Creating these agreements requires considerable time and effort, but will be attempted 

as staffing allows and specific needs are identified.

Objective 6.1: Ensure that all components of the program are delivered in the most efficient and costeffective manner.

Recommendation 6.1.a. Continue to identify ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of BBL operations by 

looking at oppor¬tunities to outsource noncore functions.

• The BBL remains committed to identifying new approaches that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its 

operations, but “outsourcing” is frequently a more expensive option and should be carefully studied before implementation.

Recommendation 6.1.b. Work towards automation of BBL data-handling tasks to the highest extent possible, including passing responsibility for many tasks, such as data checking and data entry, to users. Specific areas for improvements are suggested elsewhere in the document. Priority for implementation should be determined based on an assessment of current staff time requirements and on areas where maximum gains in efficiency can be obtained.

• The new data-management system for the BBL provides innumerable examples of how automation has been successfully implemented into BBL operations. The BBL continues to identify and implement new approaches that 

automate data-quality procedures and other aspects of the lab’s operations.
20 The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory: An Integrated Scientific Program

Objective 6.2: Maintain or enhance the financial foundation of the BBL to ensure that it can continue to 

meet its mandate.

Recommendation 6.2.a. Develop a business plan for the BBL that considers all costs and benefits of the program, 

while recognizing the primary mandate of the Department of Interior for the conserva¬tion of migratory birds.

• At this time (2013), the BBL has not taken action on this recommendation.

Objective 6.3: Ensure that the workforce at the BBL continues to meet the needs of an evolving 

organization.

Recommendation 6.3.a. Develop a staffing plan that recognizes the changing workforce needs of the BBL over time, 

as increased auto¬mation reduces the need for clerical staff but increases the need for more highly trained staff, such 

as computer programmers to main¬tain and develop systems, and biologists to develop standards and procedures and 

to serve as liaison between banders, data analysts, and conservation practitioners.

• A staffing plan exists for the BBL that reflects this recommendation. Staffing changes will have to occur opportunistically through retirements of existing staff members and are limited by current budgetary restraints.
