A visit to Rushton Woods owl banding for adults!

Join the banding crew at Rushton Woods Preserve as they work to catch and band Northern Saw-whet Owls to help researchers discover more about their amazing annual movements and unique nocturnal adaptations. Please be aware that this is expected to be a light year for the owls so while participants may not see an owl, they will learn about the research being done, the techniques used and the value of the collected data.

This trip is limited to 20 participants, DOS members only. Please email Carolyn at [email protected] providing contact information to sign up for this trip or if you have any questions. Since there was a lot of interest last year and the trip filled quickly, I will be giving priority to those who did not have the opportunity to go last year. I will keep a waiting list for people who attended last year and would like to go again in the event that the trip does not fill.
