Thanks for the feedback for sure. Curious more than anything but really puzzled when it was moved with no explanation. I have seen other topics moved but always a reason why.
Again curious more than anything. I posted because I figured someone from Fish and Game/DNR or whoever would be interested and it would make it's way back to the people who do the tagging somehow.
I hadn't thought about the different colors or nesting colonies. I just thought T was for a county but a nesting colony definitely makes more sense. I was also wondering why such a big tag, Even with many of our thoughts on pelicans it is still on a bird that is basically a flying machine and that would be annoying in the least and cumbersome if nothing else. I thought it was a strange way to mark birds. If I make it back I may check for a leg band but didn't want to poke around in it much. It was past the way nasty stage I think but pretty scary looking all the same.
As for the thread title........well, it is marked Utah, and it was found in Idaho and it's gotten plenty of views.
Thanks again for the feedback Wiperhunter, you and the other mods do a thankless job here making sure we have this place to come to.
