We have photos of the band and we think we have all the numbers. One observer entered the numbers and received this response “ the bander has not submitted data for the band yet” and she was asked to submit photos.
Basically, we found the bird and Lisa Nasta noticed the band. I tossed oyster crackers to it while she and John Gluth concentrated on photographing the band. Oyster crackers were courtesy of Pat Lindsay and Shai Mitra after a nice lunch at Sunday’s a few weeks ago. Fortunately, Sunday’s was not handing out chocolate chips or I would have eaten them by now and the bird would have flown off.
