Data & Technical Reports
The Yukon Bird Observatories have collected a substantial amount of data since their inception. All of the birds banded are incorporated into an international database. This provides the opportunity for tracking and communicating band recoveries across the Americas through an international database shared by Environment Canada and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. To date, the Yukon Bird Observatories have had a number of long distance band recoveries as summarized in the table below.
