[Maine-birds] Information on banded Willet

Here is the promised information on the banded Willet photographed at
the King Rail Hotspot in Wells, Maine.

Hi Bob,

Great photos of 0914-47138 and thank you for sharing! The BBL will email
you an official certificate of appreciation for reporting the bird, but
here is some more info:

This bird was banded on 6/10/2014 near the Drake's Island part of the
refuge. Only about 3 miles (and 3 years) north of where you observed it!
We're hoping to recapture it this year to remove the geolocator, which
provides data on wintering locations for a Willet project we've been
working on.

Thanks again!

Lauren Gilpatrick
