Index of Subjects Just an update on the American Oystercatcher we saw on Sunday. Visually, we were somewhat sure that this bird was banded. When reviewing digital photographs later it was very clear that indeed it was banded. However, because of the distance and the windy conditions I can't make a positive confirmation on the two character alphanumeric code on the band (I can only read one of the two characters). However, I can confirm because of the colouring that this American Oystercatcher was banded in North Carolina. On Monday we returned to the same location three times at different times during the tide cycle but no luck in finding it again. I'll still submit an observation with a photo to the research program (http://www.ncsu.edu/project/grsmgis/AMOY/Banding.htm), but wish I could fully read the id code.

On the way home we made several stops and wanted to also report seeing an American Oystercatcher in the eastern channel of West March (along the road to Conrad Beach). Paul
