Brian E. Washburn, a research wildlife biologist with the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, tagged fledgling red-tailed hawks living on Cherry Point Tuesday. The purpose of tagging is to track the birds’ flight patterns to deconflict airspace. The information helps USDA scientists determine whether some nesting sites may need to be relocated to ensure the animals’ well-being and safety. Washburn works primarily with red-tailed hawks, eagles, geese and ospreys.
