Whenever you recover a banded bird, the best thing is to report it
directly to the Bird Banding Labs. Their address is

Bird Banding Laboratory
12100 Beech Forest Road
Laurel, MD 20708-4037
+1 301 497 5790

Be sure to include the following information:

. Date recovered
. Where recovered (be as precise as possible)
. How was the bird obtained (or was it a signt record)
. Is the band still on the bird
. The current condition of the bird
. Your full name and address. If someone else gave you the bird,
include their full name and address, too.
. What species, age, sex
. If you want a certificate of recognition, ask for it. (Ask. They're
nice, and have information on where the bird was banded.)
. If you have a banding or collecting permit, mention it.

The Lab will report the bird to the bander. They keep records of color-
banding permits, so they will know whom to contact.
There is one other resource you could try. Post a message on
BirdBand at ARIZVM1.CCIT.ARIZONA.EDU Many active banders subscribe, and you
may catch your Kirtland's bander there. But please, submit your record to
the lab as well.
