A photo of a banded ring-billed gull taken atop someone’s car at the Town’s dock in Blue Point (just west of Corey Beach) was recently posted on a Facebook group.
After entering the data on the USGS site, i received notification (remarkably in just 12 hours) that the bird was banded in Varennes Quebec (just outside Montreal) in 2014 and that the bird was hatched in 2011 or earlier. - Luke -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
