Banding Program
Each winter, Dr. Doug Osborne and his crew from the University of Arkansas at Monticello trap and band thousands of ducks in their traditional wintering grounds of Arkansas. White Oaks Duck Woods is one of the locations where banding takes place. Over the course of several years, over 5000 ducks have been banded at White Oaks Duck Woods. Through a partnership with Delta Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited, White Oaks Duck Woods and others, private funds were raised to help fund and continue the important research being done by Dr. Osborne’s banding program.
