Strangest Coincidence

Gone but not forgotten
Dr. Stan Chase of Alturas, CA. seenmingly defied all odds in the fall of 1962. Chace bagged a banded Canada goose in October and shot another banded Canada in December. When he compared bands, Chace found them to be consecutively numbered- the first 518-31661 and the second 518-31662. The birds were banded three years earlier.

I once killed two drake buffleheads in the same flock on the coast and both were banded with consecutive bands . I guess they hung together on there flight down .
