    Default Band Return...

    Photographed this guy on the Cooper River...I didn't notice it was banded until I got home and looked at the photo. I was able to get the number off of the yellow marker (I fuzzed it out)...



    I got the certificate back... the little guy learned to fly and then flew at least 800 miles in just 94 days. Birds are amazing...

    Amazing. Read the band by the photo. That is impressive.

    Awesome. I often don't think about it, but so many birds are migrators. Seeing and identifying songbirds from the deer stand and looking at their ranges is eye-opening.

    Thanks but it wasn't the band - it was the yellow ID marker on its right leg. I blurred it and took it off of the band cert just to keep someone that might see it on Flickr from submitting a false sighting.

    Yep - the online form to report a marked bird has a place to attach a photo.

    Awesome! If I was the lady that banded it I would frame it and hang it prominently. It's as much or more of a treasure for her as you.

    Ed Zern told me a story one time where they found a bunch of pot and destroyed it at a NWR in Oregon by burning it. Didn't end well for the authorities though as not a tern was left unstoned.
