Subject: [Tweeters] Banded White-crowned Sparrow Montlake Fill

Hello, all:



Yesterday (4 Feb 09) I digiscoped a flock of White-crowned Sparrows at the
Fill. Later, I discovered in the photos a sparrow with the following
bandings:

Left leg, upper band of pink, lower band of dark blue. Right leg, upper
metal band, lower light blue band. Very difficult to make out the numbers
on the metal band; something like "N710".



I contacted the Columbia Basin Audubon Society via email, who have a website
requesting info on banded WC Sparrows. I sent them some pictures, but they
said that they did not band this particular bird. Does anyone have some
idea who might have done the banding? I would like to get the info to them,
if they are interested.



I have some pictures of the particular bird (although not great, you can see
the bands).



Regards,

Bill Byers
