According to the Knight Ridder News Service, the inscription on
the
metal bands used by the US Department of the Interior to tag
migratory
birds has been changed. The bands used to bear the address
of the
Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated as "Wash. Biol.
Surv.";
until the agency received the following letter from an Arkansas
camper:
Dear
Sirs:
While camping last week I shot one of your
birds. I think it
was a crow. I followed
the cooking instructions on the leg tag and
I
want to tell you it was horrible.
The bands are now marked "Fish &
Wildlife Service."
