Another frost night brings in the birds!
Can you believe it; I caught two more Northern Saw-whet Owls tonight. One was what we call a hatch year bird (born this summer and the other was a foreign recaptured bird (originally banded by someone else). The Bird Banding Lab didn’t have any data on the recaptured bird, so it will be a little while until I learn where it originated.
Weather looks good for the next few nights; I plan on continuing the project until the Owls stop moving or weather forces me to close! Working around the holiday will be hard but I will make it happen (somehow). Ugg!! Winds should be too perfect not to open!
