the banded birds come back to the same neighborhood they were in 
the previous season, by recapturing birds banded at other stations, 
or by accidental deaths. Trapping stations are likely to get most 
of their “returns” from birds banded at the station in previous 
ears Migratory game birds are usually reported from other 
places.
