[obol] Request for Assistance Band-tailed Pigeon Research

[Michael L Casazza]

Biologists from the US Geological Survey are working with ODFW biologists 
on a study of Pacific Coast Band-tailed Pigeons.  We will be marking 
several birds (up to 25) with solar powered satellite transmitters to 
learn more about the migration patterns and habitat requirements of this 
migratory species.  We are looking for possible trapping sites where we 
can capture and mark one or two birds.  We would like to mark birds in 
Western Oregon (Cascades or Central/South coast)  but would appreciate any 
potential leads for trapping locations.  Ideally the birds would be caught 
over bait on ground feeders.  Please let us know if you might have a 
suggestion for possible trapping locations.  We would like to have all the 
birds marked by the end of August and thus your input will be invaluable 
in our effort to study this species.

Once the birds are marked you will be able to follow their movement on our 
website at  http://www.werc.usgs.gov/dixon/pigeon 
Thanks for your interest!
Mike
