Hi all, Our owl banding project has thus far trapped and banded 18 Northern Saw-whet Owls and 4 Boreal Owls. Three of the four Boreal Owls have all been young of the year with the adult being at least a three year old female.
The most interesting thing is that since 1994, I have been hearing Boreal Owls in the park, but never more than a single bird calling at a time. So, I presumed there was only a single bird in the area. I guess I was mistaken. The last Boreal Owl that we caught was actually attracted to the Northern Saw-whet call and caught as the saw-whet call was playing.
