On Friday & Monday I've photographed 3 SESA with yellow, green & blue leg flags. The yellow flag bird also has a blue band above the flag. The other 2 birds have regular silver bands on the other leg. A direct link to photos of the 3 birds is given below. BTW, the blue flagged bird turned up in several photos I took of the green flagged bird. I had no idea I had the blue one until I put the photos on my laptop. Here is the information received on the locations where the birds were flagged: "this yellow-flagged bird is another one of ours. The blue ring that accompanies the yellow flag means that the bird was marked in French Guiana, which matches with our records for the code XCY. If Rick is correct about this then we marked the bird on 1/23/11 at a rice plantation in western French Guiana. here are the coordinates 5°38'39.51"N, 53°39'20.98"W. Thanks again Rick for the keen eye. ..." "Jackpot!! These are both our birds. Thanks to Rick Whitman for the great pictures. The bird with the light green flag was tagged in Delaware Bay this spring. We haven't finished the data entry yet so I don't know the exact date or location. The blue flagged bird was one we marked on 26 Jan. 2012 at our study site, Coroa dos Ovos, state of Maranhão, Brazil. This was our first field expedition to Brazil and it was a great success. 1250 SESA marked on 6 trapping nights plus a bunch of other species. Here are the coordinates if you're interested in where the study site is. 1°26'50.44"S, 45° 9'17.40"W. ..." David S.
