Rough-legged Hawk Movement Update 7.21.22
July 21, 2022
Another unfortunate update on birds from our winter season. Two more rough legs, Champ and Lemons, were found dead in Quebec within the last few weeks. Again, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, is the likely suspect.
That leaves Farr Cross, the only male bird with a backpack unit. He was the only bird to be outfitted with a satellite transmitter so we are fortunately able to still track his whereabouts despite being well out of cell range at this time. We are hoping for the best for him and will continue to monitor his movements through the summer.
