We’re up and running for another season of owl banding.

Nets were set up on Aug 31, 2019 and have been opened 7 nights since then; we’re starting to get a few Saw-whets.

So far:

Aug 31: 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl (hatch-year)
Sep 1: 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl (hatch-year)
Sep 3: No owls
Sep 4: 2 Northern Saw-whet Owls (all hatch-year)
Sep 5: 4 Northern Saw-whet Owls (all hatch-year)
Sep 6: 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl (hatch-year)
Sep 8: 6 Northern Saw-whet Owls (all hatch-year)

Where possible, nets will be open every night (weather permitting) between now and Oct 31.
