Dear Dr. Kim,

Glad to know the Black-faced Spoonbill banded in Taiwan was back in the breeding ground.

As the color combination of the (left?) leg of this bird is Red-Yellow, it should be T12. Would be helpful if you could see the number on the blue band (on the right leg). It was a young bird banded at Tsangwen Estuary, Taiwan on 9 January 1999.  If the bird is T12 it shouldn't have a PTT on its back.

I hope this is useful to you. Best wishes to your study.
