I though= t that it may be too late in the season; even the Pennsylvania stations we= re reporting reduced numbers of captures. The winds were light and southerly so why not give it a try. By 2:00am I= had banded three. At dawn I netted another ten new owls. So ar I have banded 48 Sawwhets on a minimal effort. It will be interest= ing to see how long the migration continues after last Fall's invasion.
