No banding on two nights this week due to rain, and wind made things less than optimal during two more nights.

• 9/23: 1 Northern Saw-whet.
• 9/25: 5 Northern Saw-whets.
• 9/27: 3 new Northern Saw-whets, 1 returning Northern Saw-whet first banded in 2012, and 1 Boreal Owl.  Poppy Benson’s girl scout group visited, but left before any owls showed up.  Wind died down around midnight.
• 9/28: 2 Boreal Owls.  Windy all night.  Visitors: Lori and Erick Paulsrud.
