I didn't notice the green spot until in Lightroom..Turns out it's a wing tag. Couldn't read the data to report it, but thought it was interesting as I've never seen a wing tag before, just leg banding.
Over sharpened...

I wondered about that too Rick. I guess the experts know best though.

Nice catch Tony. Is the place close to an airport? The RTHs here that are close to the YVR airport gets a tag similar to this (white in color).

Yeah, kinda. Baton Rouge has a regional airport, but it's several miles north of the lakes.
