Info help needed!

[Dumpsterkitty]

I'm trying to fill in some history blanks.  Is there anyone around who might have-or know someone who might have-banding information from the Cabot-Sirocco & Mariah years?  Any pictures from those days would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks in advance for any help or hints you can give me!

I don't have much from the C-S/M era, but I'll look to see what I have.  I don't believe anyone has banding information (except for the DEC).  I'll also check with Tom H.

I wish I had more, but Carol P. or Shaky probably have better access at this point.  I will poke around in the archived stuff in MY computer, and see what I can come up with...
I think the earliest stuff I have is 2002.
Here's one from then...

Thanks Carol & Carol for whatever you can come up with!  It seems like everyone started saving stuff & keeping notes in 2002 when Kaver arrived...and when the KFC Yahoo group started.

2001 introduced the Kodak Birdcam discussion board, on which you could attach up to 3 pictures to a post.  The problem was that, at that time, the 4 available Birdcam cameras did not produce very good images, and I suspect viewers were not as sophisticated about things such as capturing/archiving images a decade ago.  Banding was also a pretty low-key affair, and the available consumer-grade digital cameras were in the 1-3MP range, so I can't say whether any pictures were taken at those early events.

I used a Kodak DC3400 to take pictures of the fledglings in 2001 and post them on the Kodak Birdcam board; a very primitive version of my Pereginations posts.  I used a teleconverter to extend the camera's 2x zoom range, but I recall most of the pictures being pretty poor quality, and I don't have any of them from that time.

You know, Ei, this information might be worthwhile as filler, too.

Ah hah!  That explains why there wasn't a "community" earlier like there is now!  Lots of history for me to still learn.  I know technology wasn't as good-heck, I upgraded my film camera in 2000...just hoping to dig up whatever I can!

Oh, I'm keeping notes

I found some pictures of pre-2002 bands.

Finally!  A safe-for-work picture of Ranger! Only one I had was the infamous duck picture-thanks!

I also found a picture of Mary Ann with her transmitter in 2000. It shows her black/red band but not well enough to read it.
