Sep 26-29: 100th owl for the season

We reached Owl #100 for the season last night (Sep 29), which was our first double-digit night so far this fall.  

Sep 29:

  • 12 Northern Saw-whet Owls banded; including three after-second-year and one second-year adults (the rest were hatch-year birds).  We were also visited by one Saw-whet that was originally banded here two weeks ago.
  • 2 Boreal Owls banded

Thanks to Betsy Rogers and Osi Kaspi for the help!
