Back in the day...before my time, there was a lot more banding of NSW Owls
on Bon Portage. My buddy Mark did so as a grad student with Acadia, and he
tells me of descent numbers of NSWO and LE Owls caught.

If 6/49 works out for me, I will establish all those stations, Patricia!

I would like to know where the owls I band (both at the nest and those I
capture on migration) go...I somewhat expected the efforts in Maine to
result in captures of at least one of my owls...not this year though.

Randy

&quot;In a new study, researchers from the BioDiversity Research

past fall, BRI wildlife biologists set up a falcon research station at
