I already checked with High Plains Falconers and it is not one of theirs. It is 
an interesting band though, not the standard type?

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?
