Sixth Weekend of Banding 2020

Hi Everyone,

Here is my sixth report of the 2020 banding season, covering the weekend of October 3rd, 2020.

 

The winds were predicted to be out of the South and bad for banding, and everyone had a lot of things to take care of at home this weekend, so we did not go up to Hawk Harbor.

 

However, just so we wouldn't feel like we missed anything, I put together a relaxing video from some recent clips of hawks flying around the field and coming into the banding station. The soothing music behind the clips is called Kokopelli Wind, a flute instrumental by R. Carlos Nakai. We bought this CD from him after hearing him playing at the Montezuma Castle National Monument in 2017.

 

If the weather is good, we will be back up at Hawk Harbor on Saturday, October 10th.
