Hi Jim,
If I'm not mistaken, Semipalmated Sandpipers with blue 'flags' such as Roy
describes were banded in Brazil. There would be a letter-number code on the
flag which would pin down when the bird was banded. The New Jersey and
Delaware Divisions of Fish and Wildlife and New Jersey Audubon Society have
been running a shorebird banding project since the mid-1990s. You can find
out a bit more information at http://www.bandedbirds.org/
All the best,
Lance

Hi Jim et al.,
Sunday morning, 11:25 a.m., July 27, 181 Plover Lane, Evangeline Beach.
The tide is coming in, and sandpipers are numerous and active. Flocks of 200
to 2000 (rough guesses) are coming and going in front of my cottage. No
peregrines in sight.
In binoculars (15x, stabilized) I spotted one semi-palmated amongst a few
hundred running over the sand that has a blue leg band. The band is
rectangular, about an inch long and maybe 1/4 inch wide, and it is pointing
forward. The bird was too far away to read what may have been on the band.

Thanks Jim !
I think your numbers are solid. I had 120 Semipalmateds on Monday & Phil
Taylor had 400 SESA yesterday, both at The Guzzle around high tide. I also
had one Peregrine and it dispersed the birds, leading me to leave.
I am coming to think that the Peregrines are changing Peep behaviour
significantly. I know they are native and natural but it is approaching the
point where they are ruining the experience for me. On Monday, the Peregrine
had one peep separated from the flock & was gaining on it. Just when I
thought the peep was lost, the Peregrine broke off & just circled around. I
couldn't age the Peregrine but I felt it was just playing with the peep.
On the way home I spotted a small flock of Semipalmated Plovers passing high
tide in a plowed field in Melanson. This would be several km from the coast.
