[cobirds] owls

Hi all,
 
I began my fall Northern Saw-whet Owls Banding Project last evening and caught three young Northern Saw-whet Owls.
 
All three birds were in great shape and very healthy. This is something I will be doning until November. The birds are trapped on a private residence south of Estes Park.
 
In 2011 we caught 32 Owls
In 2010 we caught 43 Owls
 
We did attempt to trap Boreal Owls twice, but had no success. I will be Trapping Boreal wls later in the month.
 
As an FYI, I had a Scrub Jay in the yard this morning along with about 50 Steller's Jays and a single Band-tailed Pigeon.
