Tired of getting warbler neck from tiny, confusing fall warblers darting among dense foliage?
Tired of straining your eyes to see miniscule differences among peeps? Tired of little brown jobs in immature or fall plumage that hide in brown grass? Try looking at owls, at eye level, at your eye focal distance, and holding them in your hand! Consider becoming a BANDING ASSISTANT for HHOWLS, (HammondHill Owls) during the upcoming migration of Northern Saw-whet Owls, starting in late September. The primary consideration during this study is the safety of the owls and the accurate recording of the data. In the last three years, nearly 200 owls have been banded at this site with 5 recoveries of owls banded elsewhere while 2 of our banded birds have been recovered elsewhere. As a result of a major interest in and effort for saw-whet banding , about 1% of all the saw-whets that are captured are already banded and foreign recoveries of banded birds are frequent. Banding must be carried out following specific conditions and procedures. If interested in helping three or more nights as a BANDING ASSISTANT, please email off-list to John Confer con...@ithaca.edu <mailto:con...@ithaca.edu> for further information.
