Lara, they explained long ago about the bands. The bands were not put there by Cornell.
Quote:
I guess they banded them like the eagles were banded. Taken from the nest when younger, put in bags and weighed and banded. The eagles at Norfolk were banded before they could do much or even stand up. One whole day was devoted to it on the cam stream back then. Virginia biologists even put a radio on one eagle at this time to follow it as long as the thing stayed on and transmitted, to gather data on eagle ranges. States here all have different laws and regulations about migratory birds. So banding is often done to see where they go and move around. If a bird ends up in a rehab center, it is most likely banded then.
