Great Black-Backed Gull banded on Appledore Island 11-Jul-2006

Sighted in Fort Point Channel in the heart of downtown Boston on January 28, 2013. Not a great picture and not a rare bird, but the fun thing is that the bird was banded as a chick on Appledore Island (in the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire) seven years ago and hasn't been seen again since. Citizen science is pretty exciting. More on the banding program at:
