I was walking earlier at Frohling Meadows on the offshot path that leads to Washington St, and I found a dead banded scarlet tanager. Was just wondering if there is someone that I can contact. Unfortunately I didnt think to record the band info.

Thank you for sending a picture and contacting us about the Scarlet Tanager with a band on its leg.
Yes, you should report it. After enlarging your picture, the number on the band looks like 11380. Visit www.reportband.gov to report it online by completing the form to the best of your ability. Federal bands have a prefix and suffix letters and numbers, but since only one side of your bird’s band is visible, just put the numbers in the suffix box on the form. If that doesn’t get you anywhere, then click the “not sure/band too worn” link on the page…and please let us know the results at info@geaugaparkdistrict.org!
