The note below was just posted on the Carolina Birds listserv and is very much worth reposting here as it may be more likely for some of these birds to show up in TN. Dean Edwards Knoxville, TN ---------------------------------------------------------------- During the past 4 days, researches have leg banded and temporarily color-marked over 330 shorebirds in the southwest Lake Erie Marsh Region. All of these shorebirds have been marked YELLOW. This fall, more than 900 shorebirds have been captured and color-marked - have you seen any?! Birds captured at other sites in previous weeks have been marked BLUE and RED. If you spot any of these color-marked shorebirds, or have seen any in the previous few weeks, please send information about your sightings to norris.568@xxxxxxxx Your reports will lead to an improved understanding of shorebird migration ecology and contribute to revising regional shorebird habitat conservation plans. More information about the research project is available on the Black Swamp Bird Observatory's website: http://www.bsbo.org/pdf/Shorebird_Migration_Research_Form.pdf Thank you for your contributions to this research!
