More Super Bird Sunday

 

Banded Canada Goose

Jim Macaluso, who participated in yesterday’s Super Bird Sunday, sent the following disptach:

I was on the BCAS walk at Mill Creek Marsh and photographed a couple of Canada Geese with neck collars. I did a little investigation on the USGS website and found out the following:  Orange collars were used in the Canadian portion of the Mississippi Flyway, and Blue collars were used in the US portion of the Mississippi Flyway.”

Thanks for the info, Jim!
