Jerry Toll, from the Hitchcock Nature Center, will give a presentation at
our Ames Big Bluestem Audubon meeting next Thursday, January 20th. The
meeting begins at 7 PM, with the presentation starting around 7:25 PM. The
meeting will be held at the 4-H Building on the ISU campus.
Hitchcock Nature center is famous for its Hawk Watch program. About 4 years
ago, a raptor banding project was also initiated. Then a night time banding
project was started in 2009. Migratory Saw Whet Owls are one of the key
species being banded at night and much is being learned about this secretive
species. Jerry will discuss the banding effort, how the banding is
completed and what is being learned from the project. He will discuss
population trends and other information being gleaned from the data
collected.
Visitors are welcome!
