Scored by second band report this year today just after completing a river survey at the Auburn River Walk just below the Great Falls bridge.
By slowly walking around the roosting bird while looking disinterested managed to read the band with binoculars.
Here is info. Any idea who banded it?
For anyone else finding banded or marked birds there is a really easy online form. Just google bird band return or anything like that and you will find it.
