New Process for Reporting Color-banded Shorebirds

Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the number of shorebirds
that are being color banded and flagged.  To assist in tracking the reports
of color banded or flagged shorebirds, the Bird Banding Office of the
Canadian Wildlife Service has taken on responsibility for this activity.
Information on the Pan American Shorebird Project can be now found at
<http://www.cws-scf.ec.gc.ca/nwrc-cnrf/default.asp?lang=en&n=CA9EA2C5-1>

This site provides instructions on how to report a color banded shorebird
sighting and general information on banding shorebirds.  Reports should be
e-mailed to BBO_CWS at ec.gc.ca.
