SUMMARY:Saw-whet Owl Banding Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Saw-whet Owl Banding Demonstration \nWednesday\, October 21\n8:00 PM – 9:30 PM\nFREE and Open to the Public* \nThis session is full! Join our waitlist today. \nSmaller than a softball\, Northern Saw-whet Owls are some of Vermont’s most elusive residents. In the fall\, many of these tiny owls undertake long journeys to wintering grounds farther south. In 2024\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ established a Saw-whet Owl banding station to trap and monitor these migrants as they pass through the forests at our Nature Center. \nThe ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Field Research Team invites you to join them for a shift to learn about the banding process and how their work\, and that of researchers at hundreds of banding stations around the country\, is shedding light on the lives of these secretive birds. \nIf we get birds in hand\, our team will demonstrate how these birds are carefully weighed\, measured\, and banded before release back to the wild. Please note\, while the chances are good\, we cannot guarantee that we will successfully capture any owls during this event. \nThis program is designed for adults. Interested youth 8 and up may participate with an adult. \nFor the health and safety of the birds\, the banding station is not open in rainy weather. In the event that weather forces us to cancel\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will contact you the day of the event. \nMake a Donation\n*Please consider donating to the Center for Field Research to support our work. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. \nFor more information\, contact us at 802.359.5000 or info@vinsweb.org.
