Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In October, November and part of December, I occasionally volunteer at a Northern Saw-whet Owl banding station in Yellowwood State Forest, between Nashville and Bloomington Indiana. See here for more information about the program. I am not a certified bander but can help recording data and setup/take down nets etc (and proselytize about the program)....and every year, I always try to get a photo or two about the process. I created a set just for my owl photos.

I think this year is the fifth or sixth year for this banding station. Last year was an eruption year for Saw-whets, so we expect low numbers this year. So far, between 2 banding stations in the area, there have been 12 birds caught and 25% foreign recapture rate, which is HIGHLY unusual (12 birds does not seem as low as expected)

25-Oct-2006, I went as a volunteer to the owl banding station at Yellowwood State Forest in South Central Indiana. The weather was 'nice' (not freezing) but the wind freshened from the south west around 10pm. We caught one hatch year owl in the first net check, but nothing after that. We closed the station around 11:30.
