Rick Knight called at 10:39 a.m. today, 3 Sept 2014,

and reported that the Piping Plover is still at

Musick's Campground on South Holston Lake.

Some of you have called about that bird this

morning so I thought you might want to know

about the opportunity.

 

Also,  Rick provided very valuable additional

information because he was able to get a good

look at the color markers.

 

He confirmed the exact sequence for the 

markings which includes a green flag on

the right leg and a combination of three

additional color bands on the left leg.  He

does not see an aluminum USF&WS bird

band.
