Nine were netted in four hours before the flight ceased at 01:30 this morning. One of these had been banded at another site, probably in a prior year, location yet unknown. Saturday/Sunday night produced four netted owls, two new and two that had been banded at the location on 10/22. Flying squirrels were observed around the nets as well, one swooping right over my head as I removed an owl. The morning on Lambs Knoll was greeted by a large flock of kinglets, both gold and ruby crowned and juncos.
