Re: [nysbirds-l] Long Island: Origins of banded Glaucous Gull at Shinnecock Inlet?

2020-01-07 Thread Mike
I have an update to the banded Glaucous Gull seen on Saturday near Shinnecock 
Inlet, Suffolk County. Vernon Buckle put me in touch with some of the Canadian 
researchers doing work in Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic, and today I received 
this reply

“That is one of the glaucous gull chicks we banded this summer at Coats Island 
(82.01 W, 62.95 N). We banded it on 1 Aug 2019, when it was 15 days old. Nice 
to learn that it has survived, especially since it was one of the later nests 
in the colony this year.”

Thanks to all involved, especially Lisa Nasta, who noticed the band, and John 
Gluth, Ken Thompson and Pat and Shai for also photographing and keeping track 
of the bird. Also Rich Guthrie, Angus Wilson and Doug Gochfeld for background 
info they provided. Angus nailed the location- Nunavut

We have photos of the band and we think we have all the numbers. One observer 
entered the numbers and received this response
“ the bander has not submitted data for the band yet” and she was asked to 
submit photos. 

Basically, we found the bird and Lisa Nasta noticed the band.  I tossed oyster 
crackers to it while she and John Gluth concentrated on photographing the band. 

Oyster crackers were courtesy of Pat Lindsay and Shai Mitra after a nice lunch 
at Sunday’s a few weeks ago.  Fortunately, Sunday’s was not handing out 
chocolate chips or I would have eaten them by now and the bird would have flown 
off.

2020-01-04 Thread Richard Guthrie
Great idea, Angus. 

Just an additional note: in order for the BBL to provide a complete report, the 
entire band number must be submitted. A Canadian or American band will have a 
numeric pattern such as: xxx-x (three numbers, a dash, then five numbers. 
There should also be an abbreviated plain language instruction embossed on the 
band. For reporting purposes, only the band numbers need be submitted (but - 
again, ALL the numbers). If the band is from a system other than Canada/USA, 
then there could be a wide variety of protocols involved.
