Volunteer radiotrackers fit a banded hawk with a radio transmitter weighing less than 3% of body weight, and follow the hawk constantly as it moves through California. The field season is an intense few weeks, with working hours from pre-dawn to post-dusk. These data are more precise than our band recovery data, and a good tracking gives us a chance to study daily timing of migration, the hawk’s habitat use, and even the human impacts on migration.
