Abstract

From 2007 to 2012, banding was conducted on a total of 7,570 birds from ten species focusing on major habitats for migrant birds. A total of 56 birds of six species that were attached with bands were recovered. 33 birds of six species were attached and collected in Korea, 20 birds from five species were attached in Korea and collected overseas, and three birds from one species were attached overseas and collected in Korea. It was found that in the case of Korean ducks that migrate during the winter, they traveled more than 3,000 km. Most of the ducks that were collected in Korea were found in areas near the area that they were set free (within 10 km). It is presumed that most ducks return to areas that they traveled from for the winter season and it is judged that they do not move much unless there is a big interference factor. Therefore, it is assessed that for the protective management of ducks and geese, continuous and systematic management and preservation plans are necessary for small rivers and habitats for migratory birds.
