Banding and Encounter of an Pacific Golden Plover
A Pacific Golden-Plover (Pluvialis fulva), like the one pictured, was originally banded with a USGS federal leg band in Alaska and then encountered in Japan several months later. Currently the BBL is working together with Japan's banding scheme to ensure bird movement data, like this, gets recorded from both schemes.

BBL banding at Patuxent Research Refuge
Think habitat: not grass. Powerlines that run through the Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge, near Laurel, MD are managed as shrub habitat instead of mowed, which provides stopover habitat for migratory birds.
