Abstract

In a study of the Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus torquatus) population in the Connecticut River Valley, Massachusetts, one primary objective has been to evaluate the effectiveness of releasing artificially reared birds to augment natural populations. This involved marking the birds prior to release, reclaiming casualties in the field, and censusing residual populations. Satisfactory technics for marking were needed to pursue this program effectively. The methods described were used in 1940, 1941 and 1942.
