FYI Saw-whet Owl banding at Seven Islands Thusday, NOV 9
Our second attempt to catch Saw-whet owls in Knox County for winter 2006-07
will be Thursday,November 9 at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge in SE Knox County
(Exit 402off US40, head south and follow the green Seven Islands signs). I will
be there to set up at 5:30pm and keep the nets up for at least 6 hours. You do
not have to stay the whole time. All are invited.
The nets will be in the wooded areas of Seven Islands. If you park in the main
parking area and walk down the paved road (Kelly Lane) until the road curves to
the left, you will see (or more likely hear) our setup for catching these
little owls.
We caught one last week and the weather looks ideal this week (except it is a
little warm). OUR AVERAGE IS ONE OWL EVERY THREE NIGHTS OF NETTING, so you may
not get to see an owl on any one visit. If you don't mind these odds, I hope to
see you there.
Dress for the weather (very cold nights). Bring a flashlight and some food to
keep you awake. We will try again soon depending on the weather. I will post
any new information.
Thanks,
