HAVE YOU SEEN A FRIGATEBIRD WITH YELLOW WING TAGS?
For my PhD, I have put yellow wing tags on adult Magnificent Frigatebirds on Barbuda Island, Lesser Antilles. If you see a marked bird, please email me:
Sarah Trefry
s.trefry@unb.ca
Even if you can’t read the number-letter combination (# # H/T), letting me know the sex (males are all black, females brown with a white chest) and location will contribute valuable information about the movement of this species.
Digital photos help greatly with reading the tags, so if you have a camera, please take a picture!
Thank you for your assistance with this study.
