Just a reminder that bands and color markers should be reported to the Bird Banding Laboratory either via the 1-800-323-BAND or our web reporting form at www.pwrc.usgs.gov (choose monitoring and then Bird Banding Laboratory and how to report a band). If you are reporting a color marker such as goose collars, give the collar and code colors and the codes plus species, location, date, and your name and address for the Certificate of Appreciation. Be patient with color marker sightings as these can take quite a while to process especially if we have to contact the bander for a band number. Good birding!

A later visit to the John Hanson Rd Pond produced a juvenile GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE among the Canadas. There were three geese with readable neck bands at Great Oak Pond a Canada with an orange collar with white alphanumerals "H6C6"; another Canada with a pale (it may once have been yellow) collar with black lettering "E1U9"; and a Greater Snow with a bright yellow collar with black alphanumerics "KE45".
