[cayugabirds-l] Tagged Snow Goose

2012-12-03 Thread david nicosia
I have a photo of a tagged snow goose with a yelllow neck collar
number 55AY

see:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/8242992024/in/photostream

Is this how they band snow geese or is this a special project? I would
like to report it to whoever has tagged this bird. 

If anyone knows or has an idea, let me know. Thanks!

Looks like 55AY was banded April 2009 at Ile-aux-Oies (Quebec).
Three years ago I reported two such yellow bands which I photographed
at the mucklands, one banded there also, the other banded in Bylot
Island way up in the north. Pretty neat to know where our snow geese
come from.

I checked and this bird was re-found at Middle Creek WMA in southeast
PA this past spring. This is a cool. Thanks so much Suan.
