[TN-Bird] Sawwhets in Maryville

Another update...
Last night (Dec 26) we caught #22, #23 and #24 for the year, which changes 
our goal of 20 Northern Saw-whet Owls for the season to 25 birds for the season 
(were're not greedy).  We have not been setting up the nets regularly during 
the last few weeks (due to weather and holidays), but we are still trying to go 
3 netting nights in a row with nothing in our nets.  We thought we were done 
a few weeks ago, but then we catch another bird which keeeps us going for a 
while.  

It seems the birds are at least still moving around (if they are not 
migrating), because all three birds last night were new.  We have only 
recaptured 3 of 
our banded birds and we have no foreign (from a northern banding station) 
recaptures so far.
