HI c-birders,

Saw this on GAbirds. If you spot a tagged vulture, respond to the fellow 
below, not me...

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.
