Quality
Data gathered over a number of seasons by different technical and scientific staff under the supervision of the PI Dr Robert Carrick. Care should be taken in using banding data for population studies since search effort uneven through and between seasons. Not also several different bands were used and often replaced. Tracking individual birds over time may be difficult until a consolidated data base on bands used is established. (K.R.Kerry and M.D. Murray).
