Eastern Bluebird - banded - Indiana (1 Viewer)

[buckofdurham]

I took a pic today of a Eastern Bluebird. It looks like a orange band on his leg. What do you think?

btw- My name is Buck, I'm from NC but I am in central western Indiana mostly right now.

I took the pic with my phone so it's not clear at all. But I did take about 10 shots. You can see the orange on his leg in each pic.

My wife made homemade suet. He loves it.

Hi, first off welcome to the forum. It does look banded to me. If you could get a clear shot with the band information this site has information on where to report it:

Bird Banding: A Conservation Tool within the Migratory Bird Program (Ducks, Geese, Doves, and more) | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

Interested in how you can report a banded bird or how the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Program uses this information? Maybe you'd like to know more about reward bands or what types of birds are banded? Read on to find the answers!

I was hoping it was some type of color marker. So as to not have to read numbers on the band. I am aware of colors representing letters. But in this case it's just one color.
