Hi, I've swapped the photos around to comply with the policies of Project Noah. Welcome to Noah! I suggest you read the FAQ section (link at the bottom of the page) to make sure that you understand the aims and do's and don't of the site. May you have many more spottings to share with the Noah community.

Thank you! And that is really cool, we love to hear about that kind of stuff on Noah! You should include it in the notes, that you banded the bird and what it was for so others will know :)

I will crop the photo. My dad and I tagged the bird for research.

Hi buzzard.marshall, can you please crop this photo so the childs face is not included in it? Project Noah has a policy against including human faces in the photos, our FAQ can explain more. http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

Also, can you explain why the child is holding this young bird? Thanks!
