Hawk banding

It's been busy at the Arboretum! sorry for the lack of recent posts. The male Cooper's Hawk in the Pacific Connections Cascadia garden has been banded. With a good scope you may be able to see a blue band on his leg. I forget which leg is banded. The male gets a band on one leg and the female another, I'll fill you in soon. The male hawk in the magnolia section was a little too elusive, and they will try again tomorrow. stay tuned!
