Is there somebody I am supposed to tell about it?

Re: Taking migratory birds with leg bands.
There is an online site for reporting them. www.reportband.gov. You'll need the number and when and where the band was recovered. They will send you a certificate that will tell you when, where and who banded the bird. I've shot a lot of doves but never a banded one. Lots of ducks and geese though.
