Subject: [Tweeters] Banded Hawk (Cooper's?) in Centralia

Hi, Tweets,
We had a visitor to our feeder area this afternoon, a banded hawk that I am pretty sure was a Cooper's. It was quite large compared to the Sharpies we usually see. It's right leg had a silver metallic band and its left leg was retracted and appeared to be injured.

Our local For Heaven's Sake Animal Rescue and Rehab center told me that they never band their birds but it could have escaped from a falconer. If anyone has information on why a hawk would be banded or if you want to see a photo contact me.
