Jim - from the Report Your Sightings section of the Washington Ornithological
Society website at http://www.wos.org/SpecRpts.htm#Species :

American/Northwestern Crows - Color Banded. A population of crows has been
banded at Meadowdale Park in Snohomish County. The birds typically have red or
yellow over their aluminum band on the right leg and some other color
combination on the left leg. The project focuses on the social and kinship
relationships surrounding these beach-foraging crows. Any sightings and
information on roosts in this area would be greatly appreciated. As part of a
related study, crows have been banded on the UW campus. Report to: Renee
Robinette, Animal Behavior Program, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98105
robinet at u.washington.edu, or to Dr. John Marzluff, Wildlife Department,
University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195 corvid at u.washington.edu, or on the
web at http://courses.washington.edu/vseminar/main.htm. (Updated in WOSNews 64)
