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 seventh year of this study. Your entry helps fund this effort to learn more about the habits of this invasive species in Texas.
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!
