OK Thang I took a better look at it and this looks like a silver band which I would have to say is a Federal Band.If this is the federal band than there should be another on the left leg and in color.From the condition of it I could be wrong about the birds age as the band looks beat up and not like the Federal bands we use here in the US. If there is no other band on the other leg than maybe this bird was banded outside the US. The F&W will know if any birds were banded being you have captured one in flight. Contact them and show what you have so far and they should want to help you as much as they can. Keep trying guy.

Lou - you\'re amazing!!! I will keep looking for better shots of the bands. These were taken at San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine, CA on Saturday, Nov 21st. Thanks.
Lou - Looking through over 400 images, I can get 2 numbers out of the right tag. They look like 8 and 6 or 9. I don\'t think there\'s any tag on the left leg. Please see below.
