[obol] [Fwd: Fwd: FW: Goose Neck Collar 42XJ]

[DJ Lauten and KACastelein]

Folks

The recent discussion about the Pintail from Japan shot in Mississippi 
shows how far birds can travel and that they do not necessarily all 
stick to a flyway.  Here is another example.

PS - my advisor in grad school was one of the people to come up with the 
goose neck collar.  For better or worse.

: )

Cheers
Dave Lauten

I thought you might enjoy this.  Joe found the bird up
Kentuck Inlet sometime this fall, I need to get the
date as I am going to include it in the field notes.
