Yes the banding is always done at night, because that is when they have the best chance at being able to capture them..... Yes they have been doing this since the 1990's..... Don't get me wrong, I think that the LTC does everything correctly.
My statement over banding or placing tracking collars on animals of any type is the same. I don't like the practice, as humans we are interfering where we shouldn't..... The human race is all up in arms because with cell phones, RFID, and other assorted devices, we can be tracked..... but yet we force it on animals....
Anyways enough of my soapbox.....
In other news, we saw a family of four swim by last night, and a congregation of loons this morning (it look like there where about 10 that came together for a short period of time....)
