Hi all,
This summer we banded 140 Herring Gull chicks on roof-tops in Portland. We have now banded ~600 chicks since 2011 in Portland. Each bird has a metal band on the left leg and a field readable color band on the right leg (most of the bands are orange but a few are blue). The color band has three letters on it. There are a number of gull banding projects in the region, including two others in Maine (John Anderson of College of the Atlantic bands on Great Duck Island and Julie Ellis of Tufts bands on Appledore Island). Please keep your eyes out for these birds and report the band color and identification code directly to me--if you resight a bird that is not mine I can help track down the researcher who banded it.
Thanks and enjoy the end of the summer.
