There has been a red-tail hawk hanging around my neighborhood in Longmont
this winter. I noticed that it had a plastic band on one leg, and reported
it to the Bird Banding Laboratory. The BBL couldn't give me any info about
when or where the bird was banded because I don't have enough information
for them. The bird is either lacking a metal band, or the metal band is
placed way up high on the leg.
The plastic band is dark brown or black with yellow numbers. It has a
yellow stripe near the top. Above the stripe it says "CO" in very small
letters. The numbers I have seen are
(5 or 6) (blank) 585 (blank) 5
It might have "585" on both sides of the band, or else maybe I have only
seen the band from one side.
I have taken numerous pictures of the band. Here are links to eBird

Does anyone know who uses this type of band on hawks?
