No owls banded on Aug. 23; it was a very clear night with a bright moon.

We banded the season’s first Boreal Owl on Aug. 24. Visitors/assistants included Betsy Rogers, Lori and Erick Paulsrud, and Christina Whiting with her visiting family memebers (Amy Laidlaw from Washington State and daughters Violet (12), Molly (8) and Lily (6) and Grandparents Bea and Mike from Anchorage). Again, it was a clear night with a bright moon.

One Saw-whet Owl was banded on August 25.
