I am forwarding the following message from Sable Island researchers.
=======================

"I am a graduate student at Acadia University working with Dr. Phil Taylor
on a new project studying the spring and fall migration patterns of the
Ipswich Sparrow which breeds exclusively on Sable Island, Nova Scotia and
migrates South along the coast to wintering grounds as far as Florida.  In
August 2012 we banded Ipswich Sparrows with unique color coded leg bands.

There is also an ongoing project to monitor the movements and migrations of
Great Black Backed and Herring Gulls.  In June 2012 Herring gulls were
banded with a PINK wing-tag and leg band, Great Black Backed gulls were
banded with a GREEN wing-tag and leg band, and gull chicks were banded with
a GREEN alpha-numeric leg band.

Sightings of these birds throughout the year will enhance our knowledge of
their movements and greatly aid in the success of this project.  Please
contact me, Zoe Crysler, with reports of color banded Ipswich Sparrows and
contact Dr. Rob Ronconi with reports of color banded gulls.

There is also a blog following the research being conducted on Sable
Island, with links on how to report marked birds.  There will be photos and
stories of re-sighted birds on the blog so sign up for e-mail updates.
