ISO: Baird's Sparrows with geolocators

[Erin Youngberg]

Hello fellow grassland bird watching enthusiasts!

The Bird Conservancy of the Rockies deployed 10 geolocators on male Baird's Sparrows last May (2018) out of northern Colorado. 

We also placed an orange-colored leg band on the left leg of each bird for easy re-sighting and (hopefully) re-capture.

We need to recapture those birds to retrieve the geolocation device in order to analyze the data. If you are birding in the grasslands of Colorado or Wyoming, please keep a lookout for any individuals with an orange leg band, and/or a geolocator. (See attached photo).

If you see one, please contact me at erin.yo...@birdconservancy.org, or (970) 482-1707 ext 33 to let me know where, and I will come catch him!

Thanks!
