    Saw-whet owl recapture

    I caught a saw-whet already banded sept 25th 2008.  The bird was originally banded on oct 28th 2006 at Whitefish Point, Michigan.

    That bird was born spring 2006, banded fall 2006 and migrate south for winter 2006-07.  It was back north in spring 2007, went down south again for winter 2007-08, back north for spring 2008, in my nets on sept 25th 2008, and now on its way south after released.  So it makes it a third year bird (TY).  Isn't it nice?

    Great when you can piece together the life history of an individual bird like that.
