Each leg has one to three colored leg bands. The bands are red, blue, or yellow. If you saw bands on the bird's legs, let us know on which leg you saw the bands (right or left), how many bands on that leg, and the color and placement of each band. Even incomplete records of color combinations may be valuable as they could allow us to narrow down which crane was sighted. See examples of how to report leg bands on whooping cranes.
