There is something about me and banded birds!
This morning while walking in the back yard, I found a very young yellow rump hanging from a wicked spider web.
As I came back with the ladder, my friend said "does that bird have a band on it?"
So,here we go again!
The bird is very small, and is wearing a silver band on its left leg-in very small letters it says :
n 2290
e 0173
p
o I need to look a bit closer with my over 40 eyes, but the 3 may be a 6. The bird is really stressed from hanging in the web and moreso because it had string on the other leg that had both caught a small twig and strangulated the limb (leaving a stump).Still working to get the string off and get him fed and watered , then he can go back among his flock.
Does anyone know who might have banded a yellow rump? Or should I just report it to the Fed folks-pataxtent (??) or something
