A very cool thing happened (for me). I photographed a Double-Crested Cormormorant in flight a few days ago at Lemoines (see earlier post) , then discovered it had a leg band on it as I was pulling into LR. Well, able to read the code on the band, thanks to a fellow flickr member, I was eventually put into touch with the fellow who placed that band on the bird....back in June of 2004! I was pleased to have been able to speak with the research wildlife biologist from the National Wildlife Research Center at Mississippi State University this afternoon, and getting acquanted with the research efforts he and others put forth.
Cheers!
