REPORT PELICANS WITH LEG BANDS AND WING TAGS

Posted on: August 01, 2007

In addition to the 600 pelicans already marked this year in Southeastern Idaho, Fish and Game will continue to band and tag hundreds of young pelicans from both of Idaho’s nesting colonies over the next 2-3 years. The birds from Blackfoot Reservoir colony will continue receiving black wing tags and those from Lake Walcott will receive red wing tags. Both colors of tags will have white unique three digit codes and all tags are on the right wing near the “elbow”. It will be helpful to the project to receive reports of marked birds from the public.

If you see one of the marked birds, please contact the Pocatello Fish and Game office at (208) 232-4703, the Jerome office at (208) 324-4359, or Colleen Moulton in Boise at (208) 287 – 2751. You may also send an e-mail to mwackenhut@idfg.idaho.gov. jbarrett@idfg.idaho.gov, or cmoulton@idfg.idaho.gov. Please report the date the tagged bird was seen, the location, tag color, and the number if possible.
