Came upon this on list I belong to.  Does banding do more harm than good?

Although I have a lot of respect for the dedication and hard work of wildlife biologists, this video is very disturbing.  There have been some other suggestions that banding and wing-tagging can have adverse effects, but this is the most direct evidence yet that banding a bird can significantly alter its behavior.
