Pigeon bands are unrelated to songbird and raptor banding in the US and Canada. The racers have a reliable reporting site at Lost Found Bird Information American Racing Pigeon Union | Homing Pigeons | ARPU Sport Flyers <https://www.pigeon.org/pages/lostbirdinfo.html>.
Read the numbers and try reporting it, They have been good at providing quick feedback. Breeders also use small bands, usually colored and they are unregulated.
