It was qu= ite a coincidence you report the banded Pintail day after the presentation o= n the bird which was photographed a year ago by Steve Vines who showed the s= lide in his presentation. Even more of a coincidence was that Judy Kendell w= as present at the talk and her husband Charlie, my good birding friend, who p= assed away couple years ago may actually have been involved in banding that b= ird. The Kendells were Codroy Valley Newfoundlanders till moving to NS and C= harlie at times assisted in banding ducks when he was home in the summer. He= may have banded that bird! =20 I have reported scores of banded birds over the years. I usually just google= =E2=80=9Creporting banded birds=E2=80=9D. The site I use is https://www.pw= rc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/ Usually hear back quite quickly if all numbers can be read. The centre for N= orth America I believe is Patuxent Wildlife Centre Bird Banding Lab which is= US based.=20 Since I volunteer with Piping Plover guardian program, I usually just report= those bands directly to the NS program director who was Sue Abbott. She is m= oving on from that position and a search is on for a new director.=20 My most interesting banded bird was a Whimbrel which had been banded in MacK= enzie Delta and which had also been fitted with a radio collar at the time.= It was traced back on forth on migration to Brazil till transmitter was los= t and my report was first after a few years of no contact. The migration rou= te was very interesting down the east coast in fall migration and up the wes= t coast in spring. Finding banded birds adds to the interest in observing bi= rd behaviour.=20 All the best Ken=20 Sent from my iPad Ken McKenna Stellarton=20 NS=20 > On Feb 8, 2019, at 6:57 AM, Paul Murray <pwmurray.murray911@gmail.com> wro= te: >=20 > Ken, > Thanks for the updated band info - I updated my photos to include it in th= e captions. I'm curious.....why does the band appear to have a USA contact= address on it - specifically, it looks to me like "Lauren, Maryland with a 1= -800 327-.... phone number? Is that a central registry? =20 >=20 > This is my fourth occasion finding identifiable bands or tags. A couple o= f years ago I got a tagged Piping Plover at White Point Lodge - he was well d= ocumented locally and authorities were on site at the time!
