Ned...thanks so much for letting me know. I never check that National
Geotourism page, but just happened to do so today. I did not even know that
someone could leave a comment on that page.
Glad to know that the recovered band was reported.

Humbanders,
Thanks Barbara, will save you the call. Alice and Raymond had reported
P67395 to the BBL in Feb. 2016 and we were notified by BBL soon after.
Contacted the homeowners in person since we were then banding in the Lake
Mead area and shared details. We also set up in the yard to possibly show the
bird banding science.
We had originally banded the Costa's male in Oct. 18, 2015 here in Mesquite,
NV. about 75 miles northwest of Boulder City. They were not sure when the
bird perished in Boulder City yard, but found in early Feb.

I just now noticed a comment made on my National Geographic tourism page in
February of this year.
A bird with a band number of P67395 was found in Boulder City, Nevada. I
have no email address for this person, but do have a name and phone number -
Alice Hocking @ 702-294-2317.
I will call her and instruct her how to report to BBL, unless this is
someone's band and perhaps they could call her.
Please advise...
