Hi there!
I recently found an American Oystercatcher at Honeymoon Island, Florida and after reviewing the photos I noticed it was tagged on both legs. Both legs had a red tag at the thigh with a "25" on it, and then on its left leg by the talon is a silver anklet with some inscription on it. I was wondering what kind of tag this is and what does it indicate? There were a number of other Oystercatchers around that did not have any tags, it was just this one that had it.
