[JGIOCOMO@xxxxxxx]

Tonight a group of University of Tennessee students and Knoxville-TOS members 
sat out under the stars waiting for a Saw-whet owl to be attracted to our 
three open nets with a tape of a Saw-whet owl call.  Our efforts were rewarded 
around 8:30pm when we were able to band and release a female Saw-whet Owl at 
Seven Islands Wildlife Reserve in southeastern Knox County.  This is the first 
time we have been able to capture Saw-whets in Knox county.  Last year we 
banded 
birds in Anderson and Blount Counties.
We also heard Screech and Great-horned owls calling, and we found over two 
dozen pellets probably from the Barn owl hanging out in the barns.
