Hi Randy,

This aug we got in a downy headed barred owl and Kestrel...and I mean late
august. That does worry me a bit for survival of some birds of prey. Hoping
these were oddballs and not a trend!

  Thanks to Jim Wolford for pointing out that I didn't mention the type of
owl. This email was actually supposed to go to a different address, and the
recipient would have known I meant a Northern Saw-whet Owl (though the 100
owls also includes about 10 Boreals). Anyway, the southbound migration seems
about as strong as last year. Other folks monitoring the migration are
seeing a slow start (they're all south of me), but they haven't got their
big wave yet.

  I've caught more Deer Mice in my house this past month (about 6) than in
the last three years. I hope this means there are a lot of mice, not that my
house has suddenly become attractive! If the mice numbers are truly up, then
as long as the winter isn't too hard, weasels, owls, snakes, foxes should
all do well next year.

    I banded my 100th owl last night, before the moon rose. My 100 owls are
almost evenly split between nest-banded birds and migration monitoring. The
birds was an AHY unknown sex, not wearing any bracelets. But it did have
bloody chin feathers, and the blood wasn't mine.
