…and still at it an hour later. Pretty determined!
My neighbor throws two quarts of bird seed on the ground every day, which must
be a real boon for voles and deer mice. Maybe that is what’s keeping the
Saw-whets around…

Started tooting at 6:20 PM. Today I put up a nest box, and I will do another
one tomorrow.

So now it’s day 13, and the question is: what’s going on here? The expenditure
of time and energy is conspicuous. Is this courtship? a single-sex group,
warming-up for courtship-to-come? It seems quite
We heard a tooting Saw-whet this morning around 6.It was actively tooting
for quite a while. SW corner of the basin.

For a decade local birders have banded migrating Northern Saw-whet Owls at the
banding station in my yard known as Hammond Hill Owls or HHOWLS. This is one of
my greatest pleasures. We have caught, weighed, measured and banded over 1000
owls, including ~30 previously banded owls, thereby, contr
Well, I found my Saw-whet. Turns out to be a mournful RWBB. Just doesn’t have
the will to sing, I guess. Just a soft toot. Toot toot. At dawn. Or in the
evening, while other RWBB are singing proud and strong... just a soft toot.
Toot.
Thank you for entertaining my quarantine question. I hav
A Northern Saw-whet Owl is currently giving his tooting "back-up"
call from across our pond in Brooktondale. The first one we've heard
in a few years!!!

John is one of very few Saw-whet group stations to ever have such a nifty
revisit of
birds banded in previous years. To get two from 2013 in one night is awesome and
great data. Unfortunately 2013 was a horrible year so if we believe in cyclic
migration events it doesn't bode well for the next mon
Hi Folks,
Hammond Hill Owl Station, HHOWLS, has been banding saw-whets this fall, as
usual. So far, this year is either very bad or very late. A major binding

station 100 miles north of us is way low. We have caugh

HHOWLS (Hammond Hill Owl Site) had our best night of the year last

It appears we are in the early days of a huge Northern Saw-whet owl movement.

huge catches. PA stations are already reporting owls.

Yesterday evening around 6:45pm, my parents, Larry and Sara Jane Hymes, and
I went for a nighttime jaunt in Upper Buttermilk Falls State Park to
attempt to locate a lost phone (which we successfully found on the West
trail around Treman Lake). On the way back from our nighttime hike, around
8:00pm,
I just returned from a long walk on the eastern portion of the east

several times. I returned to my cay and drove back to Maple Ave,

Unbelievably, I was awakened at midnight by the calling of a Saw-whet Owl right
outside the open bedroom window. It went on about 20 times, in slowly measured
toots of equal length and spacing, then took a break and tooted some more. The
sound was so close that I sensed the breathiness, very m

On the way home from the Cayuga Bird Club meeting this evening, we saw a
saw-whet owl. It was standing in the middle of Rt. 89, about mid-way between
the Pines Restaurant and Cayuga Nature Center, near 1283 Rt. 89. I avoided
hitting it, swerving around it, and then turned around and drove back
In Hammond Hill SF this evening, I got 2 separate, long, tooting-responses
from a SAW-WHET OWL. It was far off, and I have made the assumption that it
was the same owl. The number of night-skiing yahoos and barking dogs is
increasing dramatically out there.
