Well it has been a few days since the last post and will probably make a weekly posting.The Banding has been slow,but as stated before it is still early in the Season. WE now have all of our Nets in place.We have caught an additional 5 Hawks in the past five days( 2 COHA,1AMKE,1MERL,1RTHA).
We are using a Large Triangle with the main Lure and a Smaller Triangle to the side with a Smaller Lure. The Large Lure is the Primary Bait to get the Hawks attention. If it is a Large Hawk(ieRTHA,COHA) we keep them focused on the Primary Lure. If it is a smaller Hawk(ie AMKE,SSHA) we will switch to the smaller Lure. I can be quite Tedious some days as you watch the Skies for hours and not have any Hawks within distance(naked Eye). Then we just count the Raptors for Hawkcount.org . With the Changing of the Seasons we will be getting more productive days as the Number of Hawks increases each and every day................Stay Tuned
