TAGGED VULTURE SIGHTINGS REQUESTED 

We are conducting research evaluating the movements of 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)
or a series of 3 letters (ie. AMJ) that may also be visible from
below while the birds soar. The yellow tagged birds were marked and
released in North Florida and the white tagged birds were marked and
released in Virginia and Florida. 

All sightings should be sent to the email or address below
indicating the location of the sighting, tag number, species, as
well as any other pertinent behavioral or other information. Any
information of recoveries of tagged birds should also be sent to the
USGS Bird Banding Lab in MD http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/. For more
information on our vulture research, please see

Thank you for any information you may provide.
