After a long delay (my apologies) the photo of PBOT's band colors is available on the FAQ page! I hope this will help you recognize lime green versus light green, as well as all the other old and new colors. At the bottom of the photo are the new split bands we started using this year to differentiate birds banded in North Carolina (red/yellow split) from those banded in South Carolina (blue/pink split). In addition, we have added a section called "Notes" at the bottom of the Spot Sighting and Timed Sighting report forms - this is for any other information about your sighting that you think is interesting or informative. For example, you can note that this is your first sighting of the season, or that this green bird looks to be molting into its adult male plumage, or that this adult male has been seen frequently with one of the green birds you have reported. Many of you have emailed me with these kind of notes, and we wanted to let you attach them directly to your sighting. Thanks for your comments and suggestions about the new PBOT website! This redesign is all about making your role in PBOT more interesting and informative for you -- so if you have any suggestions, please let us know. I look forward to hearing from you! Leah
