    Name is only to appear as BicycleBirder. Do not use my real name. People that know me know me. People that don't don't need to. Sorry for any trouble this causes, but it is a requirement.

    Amazing that the GPS tags have gotten so tiny that they can be used on these birds. Oh the places they may be going :-)
