[TN-Bird] Saw-whets and other owls

Hello all,
We opened up our nets again (in Blount County, south of Maryville) this week 
because the avian ecology class from UT-Knoxville was going to visit our 
banding station as part of their class.  Over the past three nights we 
recaptured 
one Northern Saw-whet which we originally captured 25 November 2003, and then 
we caught another un-banded bird bringing our total to 27 (this is the first 
saw-whet for 2004 in the US, as far as we can tell).  Of course, these birds 
were caught after the class left.

In the area between our banding site and Kyker Bottoms  the class was able to 
find Eastern Screech, Barred, and Great-horned Owls (not all in the same 
night).
