Hi David. I'm a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and we
would like to get a message out to coastal birders. Biologists in the
Carolinas and now Texas and Florida would like to know how Piping Plovers
are responding to major hurricanes (Matthew, Harvey, and Irma). We want to
ask birders and photographers to pay particular attention to any bands they
see so that we can attempt to determine if the PIPL are dying (or at least
disappearing) in the storms or if they're moving elsewhere for a period of
time. They have such strong site fidelity so if we aren't observing banded
birds on known territories, or if those birds are showing up at other
beaches, this will help us understand their response. As always, bands
should be reported to www.reportband.gov, but in this case, they can also be
reported directly to me.
I joined TexBirds when I moved to the state in January, but none of my posts
ever went through so I unsubscribed. If I join again, could you approve me
for posting or perhaps post the above message if you will allow it?
Thanks so much,
