Visiting from Alabama

Visiting from Alabama

To tag birds migrating, the U.S. Department of the Interior used metal bands that bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated:

Wash. Biol. Surv.

Until the agency received the following letter from a visiting Alabama camper:

Dear Sirs,

While camping in your state last week I shot a few of your birds, followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was horrible.
