Hallo

Things are still slow for me at night, feeling lucky to catch 15 Saw-whets and a Long-eared. The winds look favorable in the next few days, so we're hoping for a push of birds. Mostly I'm waiting for more Boreals or a Great-horned to show up for us to try to catch.

On only second night of running the Boreal Owl caller we caught one!  This was my first ever seen or banded, so it was great bird for me, especially catching it at 4am after a fairly slow night of Saw-whets.

Kind of a bigger, evil brother of the Saw-whet










Chunky bird with big furry legs, taking the same band size as a Long-eared Owl, though only weighing about half as much.
