Last week of the RPBO Northern saw-whet owl migration season is done! We had a great season with 469 birds banded at Rocky Point and another 48 at Pedder Bay! Due to some trouble with barred owls, we ended up owling at Pedder Bay for our last three nights. We were very surprised when we caught 14 NSWO on our last night PLUS we recaptured one owl that was banded at Rocky Point on Oct. 28.
Thanks to everyone who helped out this year with migration and/or owls. RPBO could not function without the many wonderful and dedicated volunteers! See you next year!
