Bob, to my embarrassment, when I first saw the band and bird it appeared to
be a green(or blue) collar on a large light breasted Canada. That was
9nov2013 at TR NWR. In yesterday's resighting it appeared to be definatly
brite green on a medium dark breasted bird. I posted a video clip to the
OBOL Flickr account.
