Exciting news: Liberty Valance photographed this banded Semipalmated Sandpiper in Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus yesterday.
Don Torino did some digging and found that the peep was likely banded in 2012 by a New Jersey Audubon Society field team in Maranhao, Brazil. Check out info on the Brazil bird-banding here and enjoy the Peep from Ipanema in all its glory!
Amazing!
Also had help from Chris Takacs finding the source of the banding project
