Proper handling techniques help ensure that the bird is safe, but nearly as important is the fact that a properly held bird is more relaxed. A more relaxed bird is safer for the bird and safer for the handler. As part of our efforts to keep birds safe, we not only invest in training our crew, but offer bird handling workshops to the public.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-we-are-one-of-the-only-places-to-offer-public-raptor-handling-workshops\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">We are one of the only places to offer public raptor handling workshops.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have offered at least one raptor handling workshop per year for almost a decade. Two years ago, we started offering two workshops a year: one public and one for a private partner from Kauai. As Jay alluded to in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/ibo\/2025\/11\/11\/tumultuous-2025\/\">his article &#8220;Tumultuous 2025&#8221;<\/a>, funding has been harder to come by this year, so we added a third workshop this season. Remarkably, we filled all three. Funds for these workshops went to support my (Rob\u2019s) position, and can help us support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/ibo\/2025\/11\/11\/ten-years-with-heather-hayes\/\">Heather <\/a>to return to hummingbird band-making and banding in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"519\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/ibo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/141\/2025\/11\/Kupono-from-Kauai-holding-a-dark-morph-adult-Red-tailed-Hawk_Photo-Credit-Aliana-Ho.png\" alt=\"A person in warm clothing holds a large hawk inside a wooden raptor blind with two people behind\" class=\"wp-image-52417\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kupono from Kauai holding a dark-morph, adult Red-tailed Hawk Photo Credit: Aliana Ho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our students this season came with a broad swath of experiences. We had participants from federal agencies (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, BLM), state wildlife agencies, a couple tribal biologists, three veterinarian technicians, three people who operate their own songbird banding stations, a college professor, and some volunteers just looking to expand their experiences. Some students were local, but some were from as far away as Texas and Hawaii.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, we banded over 110 raptors, and even one Northern Flicker, during the workshops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The students that run their own songbird stations were each looking for experience in case a raptor were to get caught in their songbird nets. In a remarkable coincidence, on one of our student\u2019s first day back home they caught a Sharp-shinned Hawk in their nets and now knew how to safely extract and band the bird!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/ibo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/141\/2025\/11\/Aliana-from-Kauai-learning-about-aging-adult-Red-tailed-Hawks-raptor-workshop_-Photo-Credit-Team-Kauai.png\" alt=\"A young lady views a Red-tailed Hawk's tail feathers while someone holds the bird.
