[nysbirds-l] Bahamas Piping Plover Re-sighted in CT

2010-03-30 Thread Peter Doherty

Greetings. Fourth, confirmed, Bahamas plover re-sighted! Strand Beach, Harkness 
Memorial Park, Long Island Sound, Waterford, CT, just west of New London, on 
3/28/2010 by Joel Stocker, Extension Educator, Univ. of Connecticut. Bird was 
marked at Pelican Point, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas on January 23rd. This bird 
was marked on Jan. 23, 2010 at Pelican Point, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas.

The third re-sight was in Harwich, MA on 3/27. See: 
http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100330/NEWS/3300307/-1/NEWS01
There are more out there and others about to begin their migration, as some 
marked birds remain in winter quarters. Please look for bands on any plover you 
come across this season.

Report sightings, including incomplete sightings, to:
PIPING PLOVERS COLOR-MARKED IN THE BAHAMAS – In an effort to determine where 
Piping Plovers wintering in The Bahamas are staging during migration, and 
breeding, 57 birds were uniquely color-marked this winter in The Bahamas for 
Environment Canada by Sidney Maddock and Peter Doherty, with help from The 
Bahamas National Trust.  Each bird has a black flag (band with a tab sticking 
out slightly) on the upper left leg, nothing on the upper right, a single color 
band on one lower leg, and two color bands (which can be the same color on top 
of each other) on the other lower leg.  Colors used included: red, orange, 
yellow, white, light green, dark green, dark blue, and black.  Please report 
all sightings to CHERI GRATTO-TREVOR, Prairie and Northern Wildlife Research 
Centre, Environment Canada, 115 Perimeter Road, Saskatoon, SK S7N 0X4 Canada 
(EM: cheri.gratto-tre...@ec.gc.ca), noting the color and location of each band 
on the bird, and location and behaviour of the bird (on nest or brood, foraging 
at migratory stop-over, etc.), as well as presumed sex of the bird, if 
possible. 
 
Thank you.
