That Eurasian Kestrel at the Samish flats was trapped. It was no doubt banded and photographed. It was probably released there. But, later on it was not reported in WA, Oregon, Montana, or British Columbia. So did it disappear again? Even at five- thousand feet altitude, over head, the hawk can be identified as a falcon, at least. It is possible that the hawk was hit by a car, just one mile from its release.
Which presents one of my profound statements. Birders are not hawk watchers and most of them never will become hawk watchers. It is too much of another discipline— Too much of a leap of faith.
Be water my friend. NB.
