This section of the electronic banding manual contains the codes that banders should consult when completing their banding schedules. These include both the numeric and alpha codes for each species, status and additional information codes, and age, sex, and region codes.
This section also contains the codes used to translate the output received when banding and/or recovery data are requested from the banding offices. This data is presented with the banding codes and others that give information on date and location of the recovery, how obtained, why reported and who reported, present condition of the bird and the number of hunting seasons survived after banding.
Some records in the file contain old codes that are now obsolete. These codes are included so that researchers can translate data extracted from the files. They are NOT to be used in reporting data to the Banding Offices.
