Subject: [Tweeters] Entiat Ridge Fall Hawk Banding Station Shutting Down

Hi Tweeters,
We wanted everyone to know that, after seven successful seasons, we have decided to end the Entiat Ridge hawk banding project near Leavenworth, WA. So if you were planning on visiting the project this fall, please be advised that we won't be running the station in 2008.
The primary cause for this decision (and it was a hard one) is simply the increasing cost of fuel. As an all volunteer effort, our crews have been hit hard, like everyone else, by the rising price of gas and diesel.
So, after a good, productive run, we are ending the project on a positive note.
We also want to express our deep thanks to everyone involved at Entiat for your support over the years. It was appreciated.
