Hello,
I am issuing a challenge for all you people with really good scopes. We
need to ID this bird. Currently there are 3 red collars and 1 green in the
upper Snohomish Valley . We know F16 and F69 (reds) and 50H (green). What
we need is the other red collar M?? (M and two numbers). This bird hangs
out around SR9 going west or east as the flocks may feed. This is a
challenge to read since the white code area has discolored and looks rusty.
.
If any one gets the numbers please let me know. Or if you see any other
than the ones listed above.
Please note that the number 9 is styilized so that the top of the 9 is
flat looking like a y with a line across the top. Read the collar from body
to head. The red collar has a radio transmitter on it that looks like a
black box. However, the radio battery is now dead and no longer transmits.
