Several postings ago I showed you pictures of tagged seagull that I saw in New Haven. After some research, I shot off a e-mail to Dan Clark, the Director of the Natural Resources Section of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and asked for his help. Dan got back to me acknowledging that the gull was part of their tagging program and gave me some information on the gull that I saw.
Captured 2/9/2010 at the Home Depot, Chicopee, Ma. using a rocket net baited with crackers, tagged and released on site. It also has been spotted twice before, and identified traveling between Massachusetts and Connecticut for the past 11 months.
So, if you see a gull with a tag, let me know, or contact Dan Clark at the above department, at 180 Beaman Street, West Boylston, Ma., 01583. It’s great information for his research!
