Start of 2016 banding season

The owl banding project has started for the Fall 2016 season. Nets were set up in mid-August and have been opened for several nights now that weather has permitted.

As of Aug 29, 9 new hatch-year Northern Saw-whets have been banded. The first bird caught this season was a return visitor from last October.

Weather looks good for banding the next several nights.
