Red-tailed hawk research at O’Hare International Airport, Chicago, IL
To supplement the research previously conducted with red-tailed hawks
(RTHAs) at O’Hare
International Airport (ORD), USDA-Wildlife Services (WS) is conducting a
project in collaboration
with WS’ National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC). Specific data regarding
temporal and spatial
movement patterns of red-tailed hawks on airfields is lacking. This project
will provide information
regarding the movement and activity patterns of red-tailed hawks in and
around airport environments
and allows for a quantification of the risk posed by red-tailed hawks to
safe aircraft operations. The
objective of the study is to use patagial tags on red-tailed hawks to
monitor return rates from relocation
sites that are 50, 75, 100 and 125 miles west and south of ORD

I received a call from Dave Piasecki with a question. I'd like to knowthe
too. There is a Red-tailed Hawk just north of the I-94 Park-and-ride 6th
and Holt. It is perched on what might be a cell tower 30 to 40 feet up.
It has a large 6 inch circular orange something on its back with the
numbers 363. The sign is large enough that one might think it impedes
hawks flight. Don't know. Does anyone know of a study with these tags?to
Dave is going to check on its health tomorrow. Definitely makes it easy
identify. There is a known nest site nearby that you can see from the
expressway at the plainfield curve, never saw this bird there.
