this message is from USFWS Shorebird Sister Schools & forwarded on their behalf) SHOREBIRDERS: Please keep your eyes on Pluvialis plover legs during the upcoming migration and breeding season! Pacific Golden-Plovers banded at various sites (Oahu, HI; Johnston Atoll; Nome, AK) might be coming your way, also American Golden-Plovers, and Black-bellied Plovers captured near Nome. Each bird wears a metal band plus some combination of color-bands or flags. It is important to record the exact sequence on each leg, and whether there is a color-band above or below the metal band. Send observations with as much information as possible to: Wally Johnson, Dept. of Ecology, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717 (e-mail owjohnson2105@xxxxxxx; tele 406-587-7305; FAX 406-994-3190) or Phil Bruner, Natural Sciences Div., BYU-Hawaii, Laie, HI 96762 (e-mail brunerp@xxxxxxxx; tele 808-293-3820; FAX 808-293-3825). _________________________________________________________________ This information is provided by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network (WHSRN) Listserver.
