Here is the final total count of banded hawks for the years 2001-2007. We ended this season with 280, which puts 2007 as the fourth highest season overall and the third highest as of October 6, which was our last day this year.
This graph shows the average number of hawks banded per day for the years 2001-2007. This season was the third highest at 6.8 per day.
This graph shows the total number of each species we banded and compares that to the average number banded over the 2001-2006 seasons. This year we were higher than average with Cooper's Hawks and American Kestrels, and lower than average on almost everything else. We banded 10 different species this year. Over the years we have banded 11 different species, but we have yet to band all 11 in one season.
And that gives us a goal for next year!
