Please be on the lookout for color-banded birds during your birding trips this summer and fall (and in the years ahead!). Please note the color flag/ring combinations on the birds. And if possible, please try to estimate the approximate flock size where the banded bird(s) were seen. Please submit your sightings on-line at the Western Atlantic Shorebird Association page: http://www.vex.net/~hopscotc/shorebirds/ This site also has additional information about the shorebird banding project. Thanks!
