Seattle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I didn't see that this had been reposted since the crash. So here we go again! Neck band and leg band. I'll let you know the history when I get the report back Snow goose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 So this little goose has a lot of frequent flyer miles! It's from Ushakovskoye, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, Russia (north and west of Alaska). It's a male and was hatched in 2016 or earlier. It's probably gone back and forth since it was hatched. You really can't underestimate the stamina of birds - they go thru a lot to survive. I hope the hunters are bad shots and he makes the trip back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Brain Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looks like a Cooper's with the thin, crisp streaking, blocky head, and graduated tail feathers. Nice shot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictaker Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Christmas eve present, d25 is a male born in 2011 at the Manasquan nest, in central New Jersey,he shows up around this time of year when they drain the local lake. High iso and no light but always cool to see that he is still alive and thriving, watched him chase and grab a Great blue heron for breakfast.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim W Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just saw this Sanderling a few days ago at Fort DeSoto Park in FL. I didn't notice the band at the time, but discovered it when I was going through my pictures. It was banded 5-30-16 at Chaplin Lake, Saskatchewan and has been seen every year since in the Fort DeSoto area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestranger Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 After seeing the tag on this Bald Eagle, I contacted the bander directly and received the following info. Species: Bald eagle Federal Band: 0709-03698 Color band: B85 (blue) Banding date: 5/29/2020 Age: Third Year Sex: Female Location: Letchworth State Park, near Castile, New York I also received a certificate of appreciation the next day that has the same info, except that it says the hatch year is 2018. I'm hoping for more info to explain the circumstances of the bird being banded in it's second year, if that's the case, but haven't heard back yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Meet the Piping Plover known as Harry Potter by the banders. Quote He was originally banded on February 7, 2015 in Abaco, Bahamas. He was also resighted on November 19, 2016 (300 feet away from where he was banded). 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
