According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag
migratory birds was changed.
The bands used to bear the name of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated "Wash. Biol. Surv."
The agency then received the following letter from an Arkansas camper:
"To whom it may concern:
While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was horrible."
The bands are now marked Fish and Wildlife Service
