Greetings Martin:
Yes, indeed it was one of those long brutal crane slogs at the far north
end of the island and the bird was in flight - from Washington into Oregon.
We submitted a report to the OBRC but it was rejected on the grounds of
unknown provenance. It was seen by quite a few people over the course of
several weeks and nobody reported any bands. Free-flying, no bands - would
probably be accepted now that Nehls is off the committee.
Keep on bro-ing; Anthony
