Do you have a department of Fish and Wildlife in your state... could be under the state or a federal office. They might know or you could try http://www.fws.gov/offices/orgcht.html

Do you have a department of Fish and Wildlife in your state... could be under the state or a federal office. They might know or you could try Cornell Lab of Ornithology, they might be able to tell you how to start looking.

If you hunt through their website there should be a place to "contact us"

I know that color codes are assigned to a particular group who is banding and counting - just not sure how to go about asking which group got the colors you mentioned

I don't know Cynthia, I'm hoping someone might explain.

Thank you Malcolm!

Looks like a young male to me, black bib and grey head. The female has a paler brown head and very pale stripe above the eye, and no bib.
