The Webless Migratory Game Bird Research (WMGBR) Program was established in December 1994 with the first projects being funded in 1995. It was designed to provide cooperative funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), state wildlife agencies, and then waterfowl (e.g., doves, pigeons, cranes, woodcock, snipe, and rails). Information from these studies will be used to more effectively manage these “webless” species.
