Was it quaking in Japanese?  :chuckle:

If it is from Japan, that would be the band of a lifetime.   :tup:

Could be because migratory birds from Asia end up in Alaska.  That's why there is concern a bird from Asia will carry the bird flu up into Alaska and spread it to the birds that migrate south into North America.  The biggest surprise would be why doesn't the US Fish and Wildlife have Japan bird banding info since we have a treaty with them and other countries?
Don't read my post if facts hurt your feeling.

Does the band glow when the lights are off.  I wonder how radio active it might be?   :yike:

PM sent to you.  This bird is part of a research project, and the Japanese government (environmental agency) would like to record the data.  I can help you.
