Raptor specialist monitoring movement, habits of birds of prey
The eagles are back, and they’re more fashionable than ever.
More than 50 years ago, raptor specialist David Hancock counted three pairs of nesting eagles in the Fraser Valley.
Today, there are nearly a thousand nesting in the same area, and some of them are now sporting a $5,000 “backpack.”
The pack, courtesy of the Hancock Wildlife Foundation, is a tracking system that provides daily updates of the bird’s movement.
