Hi folks,
This year I opened my saw-whet owl nets 2 weeks early because the folks in
Alabama caught one back then (they are now up to 5 at 2 locations).
I've caught 4 Eastern Screech-owls, 2 rabbits and an armadillo. The folks
up in New England can't claim that.
Tonight, at 10pm, I finally caught the target species, a 2nd year female
Northern Saw-whet Owl.
To tell you more about the size, here are some comparisons:
Eastern Screech 1 wing 151 mm, mass 128 grams
Eastern Screech 2 wing 163 mm, mass 148 grams
Eastern Screech 3 wing 155 mm, mass 163 grams
Northern Saw Whet wing 141 mm mass 93 grams
That makes 7 Saw-whets captured in 5 seasons, 2 of which were same-season
recaptures (Ontario and Virginia).
My nets are now closed, as I'm banding tomorrow at Joe Kurz.
Cheers,
Charlie Muise
Lamar County
