[TN-Bird] Invitation to owl netting in Knox County Friday evening.

    FYI  Saw-whet Owl banding at Seven Islands Thusday, NOV 17
    
    Our third attempt to catch Saw-whet owls in Knox County for winter 
2006-07 will be Friday,November 17 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 bird two weeks ago and a flying squirrel last week.  The 
weather     looks ideal this week (nice and cold and just after a cold front 
blew     through).  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,
