southern banders help band a couple of hawks

After the social we had the chance to take a couple of banders from the south out to see if we could catch a hawk. Recently the area seems to be hosting a number of roughlegged hawks and redtailed hawks. Catching hawks is very difficult and is often does not reward the effort it takes  but we had lots to catch up on so we headed out with high hopes and managed to catch a rough legged hawk and a young redtail.  The recent snow may ben the end of hawk season but we will soon be banding buntings. Hopefully we will have news about buntings soon. This photo is  of Theresa Mackenzie who made the trek up to take in the social and lucked out with a couple of hawks.
