Is a permit required for banding?
Yes. Though the application refers to scientific collecting in the
sense that term is used by ornithologists, a permit is required for all
activities that involve handling a bird (pers. comm).
On the application form, write n/a in response to questions about
sacrificing animals. State that you are requesting permission to
capture, mark, and release and provide details about species. Explain
the project or attach a copy of your research proposal.
