2024 Texas Banded Bird Challenge - Entry is Closed

Entry Deadline is August 31, 2024, Midnight

Harvest a Banded Bird and WIN!

Research

What's the real reason for banding Eurasian Collared doves? The Texas Banded Bird Challenge is a research program to conduct a field study on this invasive species that continues coming to Texas in huge numbers. We build a database centered on where they are trapped, banded, and released compared to where they are found or harvested. We study the habitat in all three locations, looking at directional travel, age, and distance over time. The results have been very eye-opening and surprising as we enter the eighth year of this study. Your entry helps fund this effort to learn more about the habits of this invasive species in Texas.

Prizes

Should you join the many hunters that have harvested an Eurasian Collared Dove with a TDHA orange band you will win one of many great prizes, however, you must be entered to win! 


The prizes and sponsors listed below are from our 2024 TBBC and are subject to change as we finalize the 2025 prizes.
