The following came through the IOU website from Anita Evans in Omaha. If anyone has any information for her, please respond to Anita at [email protected].
"Are you aware of any banding programs for E. Starlings in the area? We had a pair of starlings come in to our feeders with purple tags on their legs. The tags looked like squares of paper wrapped around their right legs. We couldn't see any writing/or numbers on the tags. My husband did get a photograph of them. The "bands" looked rather cumbersome though it didn't seem to be bothering the birds. We live in central Omaha. Let us know if you want to see the photograph."
