I used this technique l= ast summer to read most of the engraved digits/letters on an aluminum leg b= and on a Hairy Woodpecker at my feeders. I found binoculars and scopes were= just not fast enough to capture and focus on a moving leg band. Hope this = helps.

Anyhow=2C my question is are these band numbers readabl= e with a scope? The reason I ask is I will make a special trip if the numb= ers are readable to try and see where these ducks might have come from. I = appreciate your responses. =20 James R.
