Banded Bird

Reported my first banned bird. It was very exciting to see the tag on it.

Went out to Commonwealth Lake and was watching a flock of about 300 Cackling Geese. In the middle was a bird with a yellow band on it's neck. I knew it was to be reported. Posted on OBOL and a couple guys told me how to report it. Steve Nord told me he was there after me and the flock was still there but flew off before he got close enough to see them.

It's funny how an hour can make a difference in the bird sitings in a certain place.  I didn't see the Great Egret that's usually there but he did. It's interesting.

It will be interesting to get the report and see where this Cackling came from. Something to look forward to.
