I am once again asking Ontbirders to be on the lookout for wing-tagged Great Egrets this summer-autumn. Great Egrets were tagged earlier this month at their nesting colony on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, near Collingwood (100 km NW of Toronto). This year flightless young birds were marked with light BLUE tags, one on each wing. The tags are marked with two numbers and a letter, e.g. 28T.
If you see such a tagged bird, please send me the details as to date, time and location of your sighting, colour of the tag and the numerical-letter characters. In past years, orange and green tags have also been used, so be watchful for these colours as well. Some of the orange tags have faded to white...with black characters.
