Marylou & Jerome Bongiorno reported finding a banded dead bird way out on the Transco Trail at DeKorte Park this weekend.
The band was white plastic, with numbers and letters reading: ITC 3362 IF 2011.
NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse has a good idea what the bird was, and is tracking down the particulars on this bird.
Any thoughts? (Thanks, Marylou and Jerome!)
Generally, plastic bands are put on by pigeon fanciers.
initial letters on the band “ITC” = Islip Terrace Pigeon Club?
