The Bird Banding Laboratory codes first appeared in published form in 1978, [1] and their use gradually spread from bird banders to ornithologists and birdwatchers. The Institute for Bird Populations codes were created in 2003 [2] with the goal of addressing shortcomings of the BBL codes: The BBL codes omit some birds, notably Galliformes. The ...
The program is responsible for many aspects of bird banding in the United States and Canada: it grants permits to bird banders, fills orders for bands of various sizes, collects data from banding stations, receives reports from people who have found birds carrying bands, and makes its database available to appropriate parties.

Organised ringing efforts are called ringing or banding schemes, and the organisations that run them are ringing or banding authorities. Birds are ringed rather than rung. Those who ring or band birds are ...
For years, ornithologist and ace bird-bander Tiffany Beachy ran the banding station during her tenure as Tremont’s staff scientist. She left in 2018, and now Super is training Tyler Thomas, who ...
Scientists at the institute develop standardized bird-monitoring techniques and tools for land managers and researchers studying bird populations, coordinate large-scale networks for monitoring vital rates of birds, conduct original research on the abundance, distribution, and ecology of birds, and convey their findings in scientific papers and reports to public and private land managers.

Bird banding is when scientists catch a wild bird and put aluminum or brightly colored bands on the bird’s legs. Each captured bird gets a band with a unique set of numbers. Recapturing a ...
A band that is typically made out of aluminum, or coloured plastic is attached to the leg of the bird. Each band has a unique identification code so that when birds are later recaptured, individuals can be identified. [2] Mist-nets became widely available in the early 1950s, which dramatically increased the recovery of marked birds.
