>Hi Birders,
> About a month ago, we banded approximately 100 young flightless Great Egrets > at colonies in Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) and in eastern Lake Ontario. The > young birds are probably now flying and dispersing throughout southern > Ontario. They are banded with field readable red plastic leg bands with white > characters. Each bird has two bands on the left leg, one above and one below > the "knee" joint. The characters have the format of number-number-letter, > e.g. 24T. If you see (or photograph) one of these birds, please send me the > characters (or the photo) and the date and location of the sighting....and > your name and contact details. I will then send you the banding details. > > Many Thanks, > Chip Weseloh > Canadian Wildlife Service (Emeritus) _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
