bullet1747 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Shot a couple of crows today when I picked them up they had rings on like racing pigeons ???? Only thing I can think of is the crows that live in the grave yard behind my property must have been ringed ,any one else had this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

955i Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ringers are a weird breed and don't just ring protected or notable species. They may have been part of a past study, or equally likely someone who is qualified and just rings whatever they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 A few years back I shot two woodies with rings on in the same day , filled the form in and it turned out they were ringed about 25 miles away and both came out of the same nest.
