I found a Semipalmated Sandpiper with a yellow flag on its right leg
(bird's frame of reference) today, in a flooded field in Newtown,
Hamilton County, Ohio, USA. Unfortunately I could not get close
enough to read any codes. The field is private property that is
scoped from across a street that borders the property. Crossing the
street onto the property itself would most likely result in flushing
the birds.
