Buteo jamaicensis
Male, second year bird
Caught off power line pole near a corn field
This is a bird that I assisted with banding and data collection. He was captured, banded, and returned to the wild unharmed other than a little stress.

Wonderful to know, Niels! You may want to add that to the description, though... ;-)
good job!
This is a bird that we banded and took measurements off. We worked as quickly as possible to get him banded and the measurements and then released him back to the wild
Was he a rescued bird?? That is one stressed-out raptor! I hope you guys were able to rehab him and get him back into the wild where he belongs!!
I mean nice picture
Nice pichre
Wow!
Cool there's a hawk at my house
