HAVE YOU SEEN ANY FAMILIAR BIRDS WITH UNFAMILIAR FEATHERS?

migratory birds may carry certain bird diseases, A team has trapped, 
marked, and released 1,052 birds, mostly orchard orioles, catbirds, 
and indigo buntings, in British Honduras, In a similiar operation at the 
Delta Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana, another 458 birds were marked. White 
feathers have been attached to the backs of the birds marked in British 
Honduras and yellow feathers to the backs of birds from the Delta Refuge,
