Shot this beautiful drake wigeon today, and he was sportin' some jewelry. However, there is no writing or markings of any kind on the band. Is this because he is an older bird? He came in with two other drakes (which we also knocked down) and both of those had considerably less plumage than this one.
Anyone know about how long it would take for a band to lose all markings from normal wear and tear? Or better yet, do bands lose markings over time?
I really wish it had something so I could find out when and where this bird got its jewelry.

An old bird?
