[mou] Gyr Sat. in WI

[Ann and Manley Olson]

What is unfortuneate about seeing a marked bird?Many of the Perigrines 
we see in Minnesota are banded.When you are leading an MOU field trip do 
you discount  banded birds if you happen to see the band? I suspect for 
most of us a free-flying Snowy Owl is welcome on our lists and the joy 
of seeing it is not diminished by the fact that it is part of someones 
research study.    Manley Olson
