I know it's far from home but last month we used social media to  help scientists obtain a tag from a downed bird in Ethiopia.

Now there's an egret downed in Colombia - we are askign birders and conservationists in Coloumbia, please help us find a downed heron with GPS tag in #Colombia, $100 reward 10.24491, -73.96939 pic.twitter.com/xRyCjWbAh1 @rolandkays Please share with all your birdy networks

Thanks
