My life is about living with nature – here you can live it with me!

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!
