The banding season is just about over for 2019; the planned end date is Oct 31 (tonight).
I’ll probably extend the effort by a week or so due to all of the rained-out nights over the last several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banding has remained slow throughout this season. As of tonight, 100 owls have been banded. Owl #100 arrived during the last net check of the last scheduled night of banding. In addition to the new bireds banded, two owls previously banded here made return visits; one of these recaptured birds was a Northern Saw-whet Owl that was originally banded here 5 years ago in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the new birds banded, six were Boreal Owls, making this among the slowest Boreal seasons we’ve had here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
