Your assistance is being requested in reporting sightings of Great Egret in the Great Lakes. According to the Birding Community E-Bulletin, in the past decade over 1,200 young Great Egrets have been banded with readable red leg-bands marked with white alpha numerics (number-number-letter) in the Great Lakes region and southward. In 2010, over 100 egrets were marked with very obvious orange wing-tags with similar alpha-numerics. If you see any marked egrets bearing these red leg-bands or the bright orange wing-tags, please try to accurately read the number-letter combination and report the details (where and when observed and by whom). Send any observations to: chip.weseloh@ec.gc.ca.
