Don't get me wrong, I love warblers. But, tired of trying to see if the bottom of the foot of a warbler in the top of a fully-leafed tree is flesh colored or dark. Shorebirds, too, are really great. But, tired of trying to see if the beak is straight or slightly down-curved when the bird itself is so far away you can barely see it? How would you like to see a bird so close that you have to use your reading glasses? Consider assisting a banding project for migratory Northern Saw-whet Owls. Banding will extend from 2 October to 13 November on nights with suitable weather. This spans 8 weeks, but suitable weather occurs on about 6 out of 8 nights. Participants might come out on the same night of the week, or about 6 nights out of the 8 weeks. Please contact John Confer at con...@ithaca.edu<mailto:con...@ithaca.edu> for further information.
