It took only a day for the USGS Bird Banding Lab to get back to me with the background of the marked Semipalmated Sandpiper I saw yesterday at Sunken Meadow SP. The bird was banded in Heislerville, NJ on May 21 2012 by Dr. David Mizrahi. Band # 2571-46477. It was at least a year old at the time. Sex was not determined. Hopefully the Semi will survive many more migratory trips and gets reported again.
