FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Look out for marked Western Sandpipers

[Scott Somershoe <ssomershoe2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

From Winnie Burkette on TEXBIRDS:
Western Sandpipers flagged with DARK GREEN flags with WHITE
2-letter alpha-numeric codes are being marked on Quivira
National Wildlife Refuge in central Kansas during the 2006 and
2007 fall migrations.
 
These flagged birds may show up at points south of Kansas. It is
not known what migration route they take south of this point,
nor is their wintering location known. Any information that
sightings provide will be EXTREMELY useful in building a
migration picture for this group of continental migrants.
Florida and Texas may be potential sighting locations. Any 
SPRING sightings will also provide valuable information.
If you see a flagged bird, please contact:
Samantha Franks at samantha.franks AT utoronto.ca
A graduate student at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver,
Canada.
Please include as much of the following information in your
sighting report
as possible:
1) date
2) location (GPS point if available, otherwise, be as specific
as
possible)
3) time
4) flock size
5) flock species composition < BR>
6) individual's activity (foraging, etc.)
7) individual's age and sex if possible to be determined
visually
We have set up a page with information about where to report
color marked birds on the Houston Audubon web site
