About the event
Red-shoulder hawk banding with Gene Jacobs
Venture into lush river bottom forests to help researchers study the red-shouldered hawk. Get up close as we capture, band and take measurements of red-shoulder hawks and nestlings.

Gene Jacobs has studied these “phantoms of the forest” for nearly 50 years.
