There were a few dyed Semipalmated Sandpipers and we found these at Fortesque Beach. It was pouring rain and windy that morning so these images are not of the best quality, although they do illustrate what we were looking for, that being the flagged birds. The bird in the foreground has the lime green flag. Try reading these while these little guys scurry around!!!
This photo was taken by Bill Banks at Sandy Point, West Haven, Connecticut. It shows the lime green flag and the letters KEA and a lime green band on the upper leg. This Knot was flagged and banded in Suriname.I asked Bill if I could use it on this blog to illustrate what it was that we looking for. Of course the image is copyrighted by Bill Banks.For more information on the flags and the program go to: National Wildlife Research Centre - Pan American Shorebird Program
