Phase 2

We have been searching for nests for over a month now, but we are about to start Phase 2 of the project, which is putting the radio transmitters on adult falcons. The whole purpose of nest searching was to find these adults so we could get the radio tags on. It will be a change because catching and handling the adults is completely different work. It should be good though because we will be a lot closer to the birds. When we are searching we often don't catch anything at all. Once the radio tags are on, we will be able to locate and follow the falcons with our radio receivers and learn more about their home range and activities.
