Fud also taught Larry and I how to take blood from a dove which is a useful skill for a lot of bird jobs, but I'm having a hard time seeing how people do it with much smaller birds.

Rain
Rainy yesterday and the last two nights so we haven't been running for a bit now. Today we opened up after a foggy morning, and managed to catch a female goshawk.

So do you just have little owls hanging out in the shack with you all the time?! Are the saw whets really that tame? I saw a big barred owl today when walking the dogs behind Hampshire. Flew right across the path in the middle of the day.
ReplyDeleteOnce we're done banding them we'll just let a few of them go in the shack for awhile. They are SO tame, it's truly unbelievable. They just look around for a good perch, try to fly to it, scrabble a bit, land on a head or two, poop a bit, and stay pretty quiet. You can get them to perch on you finger for a bit too.
