I received this request for information. I'm not sure if the Great Lakes birds make it here....but just in case. Request -- Birders are encouraged to watch for and report colour-banded Great Egrets. Since 2000, more than 1,000 YOY Great Egrets have been colour-banded with red leg bands --with white alpha-numerics--on the Great Lakes. The bands may be on either the left or right leg and they may be above or below the "knee" or both. Please report any such colour-banded individuals, giving place and date of sighting…and the location of the band and any inscription on the band to chip.weseloh@xxxxxxxxx Thanks, Chip Weseloh 416-739-5846 -- John H.
