Two fairly decent nights in a row; a few owls showed up.

Sat, Sep 9: Two hatch-year Northern Saw-whet Owls  and one hatch-year Boreal Owl were banded.

Fri, Sep 8: Three Northern Saw-whets were caught; two were new and one was a recapture of an owl banded in Sep 2016 as a hatch-year. The recapture was the first for this season. Rain moved in around midnight and ended the effort.

Thanks to Andrew Fisher for making the drive down from Anchorage and helping out these two nights!
