Encounters with birds banded by someone other than master-permit holders or subpermittees should be reported to the Bird Banding Laboratory/Office using the online band reporting form (preferred) or by calling the toll free band reporting number, 1-800-327-BAND. Files of encounters with complete encounter information can also be emailed to the BBL at BBL@usgs.gov.
A person submitting this form on behalf of another person may request a Certificate of Appreciation for themselves as well as the finder. Banders reporting their own bands and not wishing to receive Certificates of Appreciation should check "No".
