["Sandy Bivens" <sandybivens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On November 8 a Northern Saw-whet Owl was banded at the Warner Park Nature
Center in Nashville (Southwest Davidson Co.).  This bird not only marks the
first banding record of a saw-whet in the Warner Parks but was the first
sighting of this bird.  The only other N. Saw-whet Owl banded in Nashville
was by Amelia Laskey in 1940.  To say that we were thrilled is an
understatement!  
 

Staff and volunteer banders have attempted to lure these birds into mist
nets on two other evenings--Nov 4 and Nov. 12--with no success.  More
evenings are scheduled.  We'll keep you posted.
