Greetings,
We are conducting research evaluating the movements of 100 YELLOW or =
WHITE wing-tagged vultures. Each tagged bird has a cattle ear tag in =
its RIGHT wing and each tag has a letter and number (ie. F47 or C20). =
The yellow tagged birds were marked and released in North Florida and =
the tags may be visible from below while the birds soar. White tagged =
birds were marked and released in Virginia. =20

All sightings should be sent to the email or snail address below =
indicating the location of the sighting, tag number, species, as well as =
any other pertinent information. Any information of recoveries of =
tagged birds should be sent to the USFWS Bird Banding Lab in MD. =20

Thank you for any information you may provide.
