COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET:

THE INSCRIPTION ON THE METAL BANDS USED

BY THE U. S. 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 UNHAPPY 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 WANT TO TELL YOU IT

TASTED HORRIBLE.”

THE BANDS ARE NOW MARKED

“FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE.”
