These 4 geese and walked right by me while I was fishing today. All 4 had bands! Couldn't get a good pic of the band's.

Happens to me all the time at this park near my house.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

Very cool. Amazing how things like that happen isn't it.

when both parents are banded 90% probability that the goslings are going to be banded as well unless the maternal lineage is of the lesser genus

Of course. I knew this too. Sleep deprevation and the flu takes it's toll.

Sleep deprivation is real, I went 3 weeks on like 5 hours of total sleep and damn near couldn't function. No, drugs were not involved.

Get over the whole band thing. They are aluminum things worth very little. Some else touched the goose or duck...big deal.

Science never proves anything either. It just helps us along. This AT 50/50 law fully binds our feet from making any sort of egress near impossible. Shame on your axiom AT.

For me I'm happy just to get a duck or a goose. These just happen to be the only bands I've ever seen. To see 4 at once all together was pretty cool for me. I'm not hung up on bands.......yet :)
