Greetings,

We are conducting research evaluating the movements of 100 YELLOW
or WHITE wing-tagged vultures.  Each tagged bird has a cattle ear tag in
its RIGHT wing and each tag has a letter and number (ie. F47 or C20).
The yellow tagged birds were marked and released in North Florida and
the tags may be visible from below while the birds soar.  White tagged
birds were marked and released in Virginia.

All sightings should be sent to the email or snail address below
indicating the location of the sighting, tag number, species, as well as
any other pertinent information.  Any information of recoveries of
tagged birds should be sent to the USFWS Bird Banding Lab in MD.

Thank you for any information you may provide.
