asked to spread the word so I am... I apologize if it has already been

MARKED SURFBIRDS AND WANDERING TATTLERS: For the third season we have
color- banded Surfbirds and Wandering Tattlers on their Alaska breeding
grounds. Each
adult carries a green flag, a metal band, and one or two color-bands;
birds
banded as juveniles carry a metal band and a single color-band, or just a
single
color-band (= metal band wrapped in colored tape). Should you see one of
these
birds or learn of anyone else that may have seen a marked Surfbird or
Tattler, please contact us: Bob Gill, USGS, Alaska Biological Science
