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

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.
