Hi all,

Purple martins are starting to return to the Willamette Valley this
month and the Oregon Wildlife Institute is seeking the assistance of
local birders to locate banded purple martins. More than 150 birds have
been banded in Lane and Benton Counties since 2011 and thousands more
have been banded in WA and BC. So far, we have only one re-sighting in
the Valley. The birds will have a numbered aluminum band on one leg and
a color band on the other. If you see one of these birds, I would very
much like to know about it. Band color, sex, age class (if can be
determined), and location would be very helpful. And if you have a scope
and patience to get a few numbers you will have my eternal gratitude.
