Check out those eyes! This is an adult male goshawk that we captured, banded and attached a transmitter to allow us to study how forest management such as thinning and burning affects these birds. Understanding how these birds react to thinning and fire in their forests is crucial to conservation efforts. Learn more about this research by checking out our “day in the life” post we made earlier this week. This raptor was captured and handled with state and federal permits. #goshawk #raptors #teto
