Mark and George,

I'm still waiting to see which one of you gets the first photo of a 
tatooed duck's foot! It's been nearly two years since the challenge was 
laid down - what are you waiting for? :-)

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, see the MDOsprey 
archives for January 24, 2007. A few relevant lines copied below:

It seems that whenever a vagrant waterfowl shows up with the dreaded 
"origin" question, the practice of clipping hind toes is always discussed.
http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-9.pdf
All live migratory waterfowl possessed in captivity... must be 
physically marked using one of the following methods:
[First 3 methods omitted]
4. Tattooing a readily discernible number or letter or combination 
thereof on the web of one foot.


I wonder who gets the first photo of a tatooed duck foot :-)
 
Good birding,

Matt Hafner
