It's been several hours since I responded to their article, no change yet.
From an old (2014) Birding in BC Forum by "Greatblue1"....
"Wing-tagged raptors in southwestern British Columbia and northwestern
Washington are part of a program for airport safety and raptor
conservation. Many species and high numbers have been caught, but the
species seen with tags the most often is the Red-tailed Hawk.
If you see any wing-tagged raptors in southwestern BC or northwestern
Washington, you can report the sighting to Bud Anderson
(falconresearch@...) and Gary Searing (gfs@...),
who likely tagged the bird that you saw. Include the tag number, date,
location (coordinates help), and photos if you have any. ...'
