This last week in September is usually the peak of the season here. Despite lots of rained-out nights, we’ve had a few good nights over the last week. 19 Northern Saw-whets banded tonight so far, and 4-8 owls banded most nights over the last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two Boreal Owls have been banded so far, which is up from last year (only one banded), but far from years like 2011 (56 Boreals banded) or 2017 (48 Boreals banded). Boreals tend to come later in the season, so more might be on their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
