Birding for Banded Shorebirds
Several times per year people ask how to report banded birds. Many of the banded birds that have color markers are shorebirds. It is not difficult to locate a color marked bird and the information is very useful to the researchers and can be quite interesting to the reporter.
A recent report from the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network is pasted above for your use.
A number of color marking programs in which I am familiar are for Piping Plover, Snowy Plover, Red Knot, Long-billed Curlew, Reddish Egret, Black Skimmer, Purple Martin, hummingbirds, Turkey Vulture, Black-capped Vireo.
