Not sure if it is the same bird or not but yesterday late afternoon I spotted a mature redtail flying across route 85 just north of Buckeystown (not very far from Hagerstown as the hawk flies). It appeared that the bird either had jesses on or was carrying a small snake. With the temps in Maryland now, a snake is very unlikely.
somehow, I really doubt it's mine....that was about the length of her jesses, but I don't think she could go from MT to maryland and still have them hanging.....not after 3 months, eh?
