Abstract:

Since 1949, more than 5,400 mourning doves have been trapped and banded in the state. The data obtained, now being analyzed, are revealing important information relative to the life history and management of the species. Allison discusses the mourning dove banding program, including results of banding, troubles encountered in trapping, and cooperation of sportsmen.
