I forgot to mention that there were at least two banded Semipalmated Sandpipers on the East Pond this morning, presumably from two different projects: The first had a yellow color band on the right tibia, while its federal band had fallen down and was attached loosely on the bottom of its tarsus. The other was flagged, and had a blue color band above the Yellow Flag, which read AAC. Does anybody know offhand where the yellow flags on Semipalmated Sandpipers are put on? It generally takes a while for results to come back from the Bird Banding Lab Website, but I'll post to the list when I find out the date/age etc. of the banding.
