Richard and tweeters...
I haven't seen a reply to this request, but remind that marking of wild birds
is coordinated, in part, by the Bird Banding Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland,
which accepts e-mail reports via bbl at usgs.gov and phone reports via (800)
327-BAND. The nasal disks are "auxiliary markers" that the BBL should know
about. It could take them a while to identify the researcher involved and get
info back to the reporter. I am uncertain who may have marked this B.C.
Harlequin, but a call to a waterfowl biologist at the provincial wildlife
agency ought to help.
