Neighbor Lou Tanner and I drove over to Clair Mellinger's Northern Saw-whet
Owl banding station this past Saturday night. We arrived by 7:30 p.m.,
joining quite a few other visitors.
It was a beautiful star-filled sky with temps well down into the
20's. Good showing of these little owls, with 17 Saw-whets, including 4
recaptures, on three runs for the night.
Clair reports this is the best year with over 130 owls this season.
Here is link to few pics taken Saturday night.
