Re: [Maine-birds] Color-banded Red-winged Blackbird

The observer can report color bands to USGS Bird Banding Lab:

https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv

The observer reports bands by leg eg. left color over color, right color over metal...along with where and when seen. 

USGS will search their banding records for the bander, location, and date, etc. - notify the bander of the sighting and the reporter of where/when bird was banded.

When I first learned of this bird, I did check with Noah Perlut at UNE and with BRI, and they were not aware of any local bander's using color bands on RWBL.

A banded redwing was photographed in Kennebunk recently. It's got two bands on each leg. Anyone know who's color banding?
