We set up our nets last night in Blount County (~5 miles east of Kyker
Bottoms) for a class demonstration. The conditions were not ideal, too much
moon
light, but we were able to put the nets in the shade of some pine trees at the
edge of a small native warm-season grass field. Within a half hour of starting
our caller we caught our one and only bird of the night. It was a small
female Northern Saw-whet Owl right in the middle of our nets.
This is our fourth bird of the season (the three others were in Anderson
county SE of Oak Ridge), and our 34th banded in Tennessee over the past three
years. This just shows the recent discussion about where to find Saw-whets
roosting is also appropriate for Tennessee.
