I could have also been banded at the Banshee Reeks MAPS station in Loudoun =
County, not too far from where Jack lives.

Va-Birders: just in case folks don't know - you can report a found
banded bird to the USGS and find out where it came from. =3D20
You can do this through the web at:
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/call800.htm
Or you can call 1-800-327-BAND (2263).
All you need is the number that Jack has noted below.
This is actually an important part of citizen science as it lets us =20
all
know where this bird came from and how far it has traveled. As a
volunteer bander at Occoquan I know that personally I love to know =20
where
our banded birds end up. We also get excited when we find a foreign
band. We were once lucky enough to net a Northern Waterthrush that =20
had
been banded in Puerto Rico. This is one more data point to help folks
there manage their environment which in turns helps us keep our =20
wildlife
diversity healthy.
So, please, if you find a bird like Jack did - report it to the =20
USGS and
then if you can - let VA-Birds know what you find out. Sure to be an
interesting story.
Oh, BTW, this goldfinch was not an OCCO bird so it was banded =20
somewhere
out of the No VA area most likely.
Good Birding to all, Janet Martin

Yesterday on my deck I found a dead American Goldfinch. It was in
beautiful plummage. Band ID was 2270 79905.
