Coordinator notes: I understand how Seek would think this was a Western Branded Skipper, but it's very unlikely to find this skipper in New Jersey, as it never comes closer to NJ than eastern CO. I do think it's a Sachem, but I hope other coordinators will correct me if I've jumped too quickly to this ID. JRains
