#FREEPALESTINE ✌️

Seeking wisdom from anyone familiar with bird banding and experience with reporting a bird band number… more specifically, I would like to know if it’s possible to report a partial number?

The backstory: I've been observing a family of Swainson’s hawks in our neighbourhood for the last 9 years. A new male replaced the patriarch in 2023. He is banded.

Despite my best photographing efforts, I have only confirmed the last 5 digits of the number, plus one other digit for sure (but unsure of its position). He will surely be leaving soon on his epic migration to Argentina.

I would love to know his story. Am I out of luck?

My September Swainson's Hawks video is now live. Watch our avian friends balance on one leg... ever wonder why do they do that?

I just uploaded a new YouTube shorts video of our local matriarch Swainson's hawk flying around. I was quite far away from her so the video isn't very clear. I also had to do some creative 'realigning' of the clips to make it a bit more watchable. Hope you like it!

I just posted my latest video about our local Swainson's Hawks - it was a tough one to make. I hope I did them justice with this tribute.

Just uploaded a new YouTube short of our local Swainson's hawk babies in the nest. All kinds of love in this one. And... big feet. Enjoy.

It's my regularly scheduled video release day for July 2025. Watch my video compilation of our local Swainson's hawks looking at the camera over the years. Also my first time adding subtitles/captions to a video on release day (despite no dialogue in the video, there are "embedded" texts throughout).

I'd love for you to like, subscribe and share if you like this video:
