Exciting New Project

Now that the nesting season is over, migration is underway. The Northern Saw-whet Owl is our smallest owl and migrates at night. Its migration is not well-studied but efforts are underway to change that. Project Owlnet is a continent-wide project undertaken to study the migration ecology of this owl and I am pleased to announce that it will be coming to Washington County. Efforts are currently underway to establish a Project Owlnet site in Washington County, (possibly in our township) and hopefully within the next two weeks, we will be attempting to catch and band owls.
Stay tuned!
