Northern Saw-whet Owl Banding at the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve

Join Ken Sobon of the Altacal Audubon Society and his team for a special night of owl banding Fri, November 3. Since 2005 they have been studying the migration ecology of the Northern Saw-whet owl at the BCCER. Come sit under the stars and listen to the tune of the saw-whet's call as we attract migrating owls to our mist nets. We will bring owls back to the station for banding, determining their sex and age, then release them back to the trees. Wear hiking boots, warm clothes; bring headlamps or flashlight, a chair, snacks, and warm drink.

Rain and/or high winds cancel.
