tag numbers not visible

    Hi, the numbers on the light blue tag are not visable - bird on the right. There appears to be no tag on the bird on the left - a juvenille.

    hi zipperdo! for the tag where the numbers are not visible just enter the info you can (such as the tag color). For the bird on the left, it is possible the tag is on the left wing and not visible due to the angle but also this is a young bird and there is sometimes a short span of time the newly fledged birds go tagless (!) until the field crews can catch them and get a tag on them - especially if they fledged from a nest that was not accessible. Thank you for your work on Condor Watch!

    There's some detailed help on the Frequently Asked condor Questions post (F.A.c.Q.) on how to mark things, what to mark, what to look for, what not to worry about, how to mark various tag "issues" and data variations, etc.

    Complied from the things that were asked over and over again, so maybe that will help a bit. 😃
