Oct 2-4: First Great Horned Owl

Had a Great Horned Owl in the nets tonight; this is the first one caught that way here (although I’ve found Great Horned Owl-sized holes in the nets a couple of times in the past).

  • Oct 2: 2 Saw-whets and 1 Boreal Owl.
  • Oct 3: too windy; didn’t open nets.
  • Oct 4: 1 Great Horned Owl, 1 Boreal Owl.
