Definitely let us know. I guess it's likely from the Cohen Lab?
Very cool

Didn't know they did stuff like that, be neat to see the flight path and time frames

That does not look like a Cohen lab tracker.

That does not look like a Cohen lab tracker.

I've never seen one I was just guessing based on geography. Interested to find out!

Waiting on transponder information

I wonder if researchers intentionally put trackers on hens. They should be less likely to be harvested given the limits, therefore giving more information. Curious. Great bird! Good luck the rest of the season.

I think I heard that on a DU podcast maybe- their reason was to get the nesting data in the spring. Course I could be making this up too but I feel like I've heard that more hens are tracked

Nesting data makes a lot of sense. And I'm with you, I bet I've seen photos of drakes with trackers on them (and I've certainly seen banded drakes), but I can only recall hen photos for trackers for some reason

I've heard this same exact info. Cool kill! Also looks like y'all put a great shot on her.
