Hi all,
Last night, Betsy Bangert, Ron Marney and I helped Tami Pearl set the
Northern Saw-whet Owl banding station on Assateague back up. It was
partially taken down due to Hurricane Sandy. We had a stellar night
catching seven owls. Dave Brinker took over after we left and I bet he
caught a few more. Saw-whets are making quite a push South this year.
Some years only a dozen or two owls are caught at the station on
Assateague. This year will likely break a hundred total captures.
Below is a link to my flickr page with lots of photos from last night:

Cheers and good birding,

PS Tami just sent Betsy a text saying that Dave caught eight NSWOs in the
first net check tonight!
