Back in January we saw a wing banded Ring-Billed Gull in the Walmart parking lot. I entered it on a banding website. Today, I got a certificate of appreciation for entering the information. It was banded in Worcester County, Massachusetts a year ago today (3/26/08). It hatched in 2005 or earlier,they do not know the sex of it.
If you ever see a banded bird, write down the band number and the species,location, etc. Then, go to this website and enter the information. They will send you a certificate with all of its info. This is not just for fun, it also helps scientists track them. Scientists can learn important stuff about birds behavior,movement and other important things.

The other day the Bald Eagle was very close. He was out in the front field, he was feeding on 2 Canada Geese. Jay got some pictures, here are two of them:
**Birdman's note...although he was the closest we have ever seen him, it was still too far to get very good pictures with our camera.
