Tweeters,

I sent this in to BirdChat, because I thought it was so amazing:

And I just received this reply:

Can you forward me the information on this? I'd appreciate how these
birds were identified (collar, band # etc). I suspect that either
these geese were transported (fairly common) or that there is an
identical error in two band numbers. Strikes me as odd, and I work in
the banding lab. I'd like to double check this one. Thanks.
