Lisa: After at least two people contacted me about how to report banded Peruvian shore birds they had seen, I discovered that the links in the original posting are garbled. The address for "banded birds.org:" is http://bandedbirds.org/ It has a button marked Report Sightings. The corbidi.org address is http://corbidi.org/index.html It is a Spanish language site. To get into it I had to right-click on an open area and ask Bing to translate the given page. However, I could not find any mail-tos on that site. The corbidi web site is a very interesting and informative site. After exploring that site, I got back to the task of an e-mail address. Patience and persistence took me to a University of Georgia discussion group and to Eveling Tavera Fernandez 's e-mail address [email protected]
Onward!

As we are in the middle of the northwards migration, we would like you to know a little more about our actual work with shorebirds in Peru. After 2 years of fieldwork in Paracas National Reserve, we have banded 1680 shorebirds, between semipalmated and western sandpipers, sanderlings and semipalmated plover. The 90% of our captures were semipalmated and western sandpipers. But we also have banded (2) red knots and few ruddy turnstones. We use an incoloy band in the right tarsus and a yellow flag with red letters in the left leg. Currently we are just waiting to see if anyone in the northern hemisphere is seeing these individuals at any time and at any point. It would be very exciting for us to have any resighting, and we collaborate with: www.bandedbirds.org<http://www.bandedbirds.org> , but you can also feel free to contact me directly if you see any of our marked individuals. We are going to start another field campaign this coming October which will last until March 2014. So we hope to continue gathering as much data as possible. Thank you very much for your time and please feel free to distribute this flyer (attached) to anyone interested in shorebirds conservation. Warmest regards, Eveling -- BSc.
