Overton WMA

2 week of April at the Overton WMA, Waterfowl were captured using cannon or rocket nets at natural feeding areas or at sites where birds have been attracted with bait. The Ducks were then Banded. One of the primary motivations for banding ducks was to identify the wintering areas and migration routes used by ducks. Band recovery distributions during the past fifty years are the foundation of the familiar flyways-based management system that we use today.
