From the Ornithological Society of North America comes Neswsletter #198, which includes this request:
BRISTLE-THIGHED CURLEWS COLOR-MARKED IN ALASKA –
Thirty-two Bristle-thighed Curlews were uniquely marked with coded leg flags on the breeding grounds in western Alaska in the summer of 2010 as part of a three year mark-resight project. Additional curlews will be marked during the breeding season in 2011 and 2012. The ultimate goal of this project is to collect data that will be used to estimate the current size of the curlew population breeding in the southern Nulato Hills. Each curlew has a green flag on its upper right leg and a standard federal metal band on its upper left leg. The green flag has a unique code consisting of two white characters (either two numbers or two letters). Please report all sightings to KRISTINE SOWL, Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, P.O. Box 346, Bethel, Alaska 99559, USA (EM: kristine_sowl@fws.gov). Please note the date, the leg flag code, location of the bird, and its behavior. Copies of photographs of the individual may provide information on sex. Thank you for your assistance.
