So let me see if I've got the facts straight here.

 

1,000 or so dead mallards in a relatively small area. All appeared to have died from some sort of biological agent.

 

Let's go investigate.

 

Gloves? Masks? Moonsuits?

Nah... we'll be fine

Probably a few.

 

Band recovery from die-offs is a part of most official clean up jobs. Band numbers are called in just as they should be with any other method of band recovery.
