It wasn't easy, but we did it! Wild chick W1-10 is banded. The left leg carries a radio transmitter for tracking. The right leg shows red/green/white, the color code that identifies her for the rest of her life. Soon the family will be ready to migrate. This chick will learn the route from its parents. Their band's transmitters will send radio signals as they travel south in fall and north in spring. How will this chick change over the winter? Find out on Journey North when the chick returns to Wisconsin next spring!
