Very nice! Where was your bird banded? Mine was banded at the Fort Hays State University Rodeo Grounds in Hays, Kansas. Over 800 miles from where I dropped it. I was surprised! Oh, and it was shot in the 2011 season.

That's a long way to go for that little fella. Bet it wasn't a fun one.. The one I mentioned was killed by a buddy of mine just east of Lubbock. It was banded about 5 miles south of Lubbock that same year. He didn't make it very far.
