See here: https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/resources/presize7.cfm Was the band bi-coloured? Perhaps the bird is of domestic origin. The other possibility is a bird banded in a country other than Canada or the US, but this seems highly unlikely for a mallard. Hope this helps, Ron On Sat, Feb 24, 2018 at 6:21 PM, James Hirtle <jrhbirder@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi all: > > > I found a banded mallard male today at Woodland Gardens in Bridgewater.
