by means of these Numbered

relative to the migrations and

bands are attached to the birds
by volunteer c%ooperators who
serve without pay. These CO.
operators r scattered over the
continent in Alaska, Canada,
Mexico, and the United States,
and in South America and the
Hawaiian Islands.
Wild birds banded and re-
leased in North America have
been recovered as far away as
Argentina, Siberia, Africa, Green
land, France, and Palmyra Island
on the Equator in the middle Of
the Pacific Ocean.
From these recovery reports
the ages which birds attain in the
wild are being ascertained.
Nearly six million birds have
now been banded and some four
to five hundred thousand more
are being banded each year. /
From these, some 500, 900 recovery
and return records have already
been obtained"
