Todd,
This sounds like one of John Marzluff's birds. In addition to the birds
banded on campus, he has banded some resident birds at his house in
Woodinville. I've copied this message to his address
(corvid at u.washington.edu) as well. I'm sure he will be delighted to hear
where his birds have gone off to!
Thanks,
