Last July 2008 the 12 year old female was shot and died and we wondered if he would call in a new mate for 2009. He did and she is a very high strung bird. She is very protective of her nest and the young.

She is also banded and we have yet to figure out where she came from and who banded her.

The last five numbers are 35578. We have yet to get the prefix numbers on the band

If any one that reads this knows of a bander please pass this photo on to them. We might be able to figure out the bander with those five numbers.
