Birds of the World Discovery | The Cornell Lab of Ornithology | https://birdsoftheworld.org

Birds of the World is the world's leading scholarly ornithological platform featuring bird life histories and data resources for every bird in the world. This global ornithological resource drives scientific research, education and biodiversity conservation around the world.

The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a widespread and common raptor species - with surprising plumage variations across their very broad North American range. Over the past four years, the Red-tailed Hawk Project has captured and sampled more than 400 hawks from 7 of the 16 described subspecies and deployed over 100 tracking units. In this webinar, Bryce Robinson, Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Ecology and Evolution, Cornell University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will share what the project has learned from these efforts, and what they hope to learn moving forward.
