Hello Ontbirders; It appears from several postings that many of you are sitting at home in the rain today. This isn't a Rare Bird Alert I know---but thought this might interest you, especially now as we await the above Teal species to return to our areas. This appeared in our local paper this week :
Wheatley / Kingsville : Ecuador is a long, long flight for any bird species, especially a small Blue-Winged Teal. A hunter, [in Ecuador] had the Jack Miner band #1185, and reported it to a biologist in the Tropical country of Ecuador on March 11th. The year on the band was 1990 with the religious verse, "Have faith in God "--Mark 11:22. Hope you enjoyed this tidbit---- Irene Woods [email protected] Blenheim, ON Chatham-Kent Municipality _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
