Gearing Up for a New Tracking Year
How time flies, when we're ............ you know how it goes! Well, I'm not exactly having fun working on permits, phone lists, organizing work days and trainings; but soon it will be more exciting and rewarding, when all of this is behind us and we're ready to hit the tracking road. Yes, it's time to start gearing up for a new year of tracking raptors throughout California. We've got a great group of apprentices to train, and a terrific group of dedicated trackers. Trackers who will go to the ends of the earth...... or almost. Each year we add to our knowledge base of how raptors move through California. We'll be starting with a stand-by period ~September 20, waiting for a Broad-winged Hawk to stop by for a transmitter. And then, hopefully, the teams will follow the hawk southward, to the Mexican Border. Will he/she follow the ways of Zoe and Marathon and head for Tecate, or will the hawk stick to the coast all the way to the border? We hope to find out during the next month. Stay tuned for the real story.
