The following message p ------=_Part_29170_26057272.1195742282216 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Regarding the owls: Not only are banding stations getting high numbers, most are getting *record * high numbers. Although the crash of rodents occurred after this year's breeding season in Ontario, the crash occurred earlier here (I monitor small mammals as part of my research), so we did not see a good breeding season for the small owls here. Two nights ago, at my place, I broadcasted the call of a Saw-whet and had at least three responses (1 sighting, two auditory). Last night I tried again...nothing. Weather permitting, I'll try again this weekend, perhaps with the Boreal call as well (though it is distinctly un-Boreal in my area...one never knows). So next year, I predict a better breeding season than this one, but starting later. In two years, we should see our peak. We'll see. > Randy > _________________________________ > RF Lauff > Way in the boonies of > Antigonish County, NS. > ------=_Part_29170_26057272.1195742282216 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline <div>Regarding the owls:</div> <div> </div> <div>Not only are banding stations getting high numbers, most are getting <em>record</em> high numbers.
