Today I observed a banded Whimbrel at 'Spoonbill Pond' in NE Jacksonville
(across A1A from the Big Talbot Island boat ramp).

The upper left band was a white flag with 'CM' code, and the lower left was a
plain blue band. Nothing on the right leg.

There were three Whimbrels present, along with 1 each Least Sandpiper, Greater
Yellowlegs, and Semipalmated Sandpiper. Also present were ~75 Short billed
Dowitcher, 100+ Semipalmated Plovers, and 22 Black bellied Plovers.

I reported the banded Whimbrel to http://report.bandedbirds.org/, and from what
I can tell the blue band indicates Brazil. If anyone knows what the 'CM'
represents, I'd be curious to know.

Thanks,
