El programa anual de anillado de patos de madera en Illinois proporciona a los biólogos de aves acuáticas y a los gestores de tierras información valiosa sobre las tasas de migración y supervivencia.

El anillado de aves migratorias en los Estados Unidos y Canadá ha sido supervisado por los gobiernos federales desde 1920. En Illinois, el anillado de patos de madera se realiza en todo el estado, en aproximadamente 15 condados diferentes cada año. Los sitios de anillado varían desde pantanos en el noreste de Illinois hasta humedales en el sur de Illinois. Hoy en día, se anillan anualmente aproximadamente entre 1,500 y 2,500 patos de madera en Illinois.

En este video de dos partes, Dan Holm, exgerente del Programa de Aves Acuáticas de la División de Recursos de Vida Silvestre del Departamento de Recursos Naturales de Illinois, proporciona una visión general del proceso de captura y anillado de patos de madera, la historia del anillado de patos de madera en Illinois y el destino de las aves nacidas en Illinois después de la migración.
