[Tweeters] Hawk tagged

[Robert O'Brien]

A few years back, on a Raptor Route near Sandy OR, I observed and
photographed a tagged Redtail. Turns out it had been originally tagged
(naturally) at PDX but then had been first detected about 100 miles SE.
But it returned. I detected it 2 years later, about 10 miles due east of
PDX, along the Columbia.  That's one reason.  Without the tags I would
never have recognized it.  Seems this one observation is reason enough for
tagging.. I'm sure there are  many more.  Carole Hallett would know.
