From Knox Martin in Memphis. This is a very good point. Thanks Knox!
While I agree with everything that has been said about possession of birds and
feathers, ect., I would make one point. If you find a dead raptor you might
check it for a USFWS leg band. Finding and reporting a recovered band is very
helpful to rehabbers like myself for follow up information on released
rehabilitated birds. In the past 25 years I have banded some 3000 birds of
prey, and while I have received feedback on only a small percentage of released
birds, the information I have received has been invaluable.
