Greetings all, The Hitchcock Nature Center is planning to band Saw-whet owls starting around 1 October and continuing 4 nights a week for 3 weeks.
Is anyone else banding Saw-whets in Iowa? I am networking with others around the country but none in Iowa. If you or someone you know is banding them please contact me directly. The Hitchcock HawkWatch reached 1,000 raptors yesterday. It was the first day we had predominately broadwings (48). We are getting into the high season now and I expect our season totals will be doubling soon. 7-8 species daily is the norm this time of year.
