Next Wednesday's bird club topic, The Red-tailed Hawk Project, is timely because the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Living Bird magazine's recent issue has a cover article by Scott Weidensaul on this very topic. There are generally thought to be about 16 subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk and this project is a collaboration among researchers to determine where the different subspecies winter and summer. For example, some of the Red-tails that winter in the Central Plains are dark - where do they breed? The Hawk Ridge hawk watch typically records a handful of dark Red-tails every fall - where do they breed? Do some subspecies that are mostly light-colored have some dark individuals? Those types of puzzles are why the Red-tailed Hawk project started. This topic would be a good one to advertise on the PA Birds listserve, particularly if the speaker will be presenting via Zoom, as outside observers will be able to easily follow along.
