Founded in 1925 Western Regional News WBBA's Annual Banding Report for 2009 The last several banding years has shown a rebound from prior years when the number of banders reporting their banding efforts and the number of birds banded had been declining. The number of Master Banders reporting banded birds rose to 164 in 2009 from 157 in 2008 and143 in 2007, and the total number of birds banded in 2009 was 170,714 from 157,176 in 2008 and 143,759 in 2007. There were 87 reports of no banding in 2009. We had the highest number of recognized taxa banded with 481 taxa (includes BBL recognized subspecies, races, and such). A good portion of this spike from 400 taxa in 2007 to 481 taxa in 2009 was due to reports from Mexico.

WBBA's Annual Banding Report for 2009

The last several banding years has shown a rebound from prior years when the number of banders reporting their banding efforts and the number of birds banded had been declining. The number of Master Banders reporting banded birds rose to 164 in 2009 from 157 in 2008 and143 in 2007, and the total number of birds banded in 2009 was 170,714 from 157,176 in 2008 and 143,759 in 2007. There were 87 reports of no banding in 2009. We had the highest number of recognized taxa banded with 481 taxa (includes BBL recognized subspecies, races, and such). A good portion of this spike from 400 taxa in 2007 to 481 taxa in 2009 was due to reports from Mexico.

In order to keep taxa together and to keep up with changing taxonomy, I prepared the bander's submission Excel spread sheet to include the AOU#'s, alpha codes, and the 2009 AOU phylogenetic sequence (numbers) for ease of data entry. About half of these new birds do not have "American" AOU#'s and were placed at the end of the list. This has precipitated a change in the Excel file used to submit the data and may eventually change the presentation of the numbers in the future. However, I used the AOU# to present this report as in past years.

I hope that this upward trend from 2007 to 2009 continues next year.
