I don’t recall photographing a banded Roughie before.<\/p>\n

Christmas morning at Farmington Bay WMA was heavily overcast so when this adult female Rough-legged Hawk took off toward me my shutter speed was so low (1\/640) there was fairly severe motion blur in her wings, which in this photo I actually kinda like for a change. She took off in my direction so…<\/p>\n

I got several shots of her coming my way. It wasn’t until I looked at this photo on my screen at home that I realized she was banded on her right leg. After looking through my files I believe her to be the first banded Roughie I’ve photographed, at least photographed well enough to keep the photos.<\/p>\n

I thought I might be able to read her band numbers well enough to report them to the Bird Banding Lab so I…<\/p>\n

cropped tightly on that area of the photo to see if I could read them. But even at a 100% crop I just can’t, not confidently and not enough of them. I suspect that other photographers who spend more time at Farmington than I do may have been able to get those numbers and report them. I hope so.<\/p>\n

I’ve been closely following Neil Paprocki’s work with the highly ambitious Rough-legged Hawk Project<\/a><\/span><\/span> where they’ve been banding Roughies and attaching GPS transmitters to them so they can study their migration. Rough-legged Hawks are an understudied species and this project is a fascinating one that is already filling in many of the blanks so I was hoping to contribute a tiny bit to our bank of knowledge of the species.<\/p>\n

Maybe next time.<\/p>\n
