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).
