Duck Banding

The Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge was banding ducks on Saturday evening.  It was open to the public so we decided to take the kids so they could see the process.  There were a ton of people there, and we had to wait over an hour before they netted the ducks, but it was worth it once they got to hold the ducks.  Megan and Jason held male mallards and Kora held a wood duck.  Megan was in heaven.  She loves animals, so this was perfect for her.  Even though there were a lot of people there, the staff were good about letting everyone hold or touch a duck that wanted to.
