Notes.
Quail A 409.976. Shin bid had probably
been banded before, as the shin of the
right leg, where band wound be attached,
was torn and bleeding. Space affected
was just size that would have been
covered by a band, which must only

A 274326 Band lost.
Fox Sparrow A 181213 replacing A 180917. When
trapped on March 15, the right leg, under and

had been correctly attached - not over-

the former on the left leg, the second on the
right. When I first began banding I placed
many bands on the left leg, and this bird
was one of my first. When I trapped it
again on Nov. 16 31, for some reason prob-
