Saw-Whet Banding Station Season Wrap-up
November 2024
It was an amazing season with 210 Saw-Whet owls and 2 Boreal Owls banded, and we could not have done it without the hard work and patience of Lauren Tate, Beth Mendelsohn, Meg Getzinger, Gabriela Mendes and ALL of our volunteers. We hosted many visitors, Audubon groups, public visitor's nights and were able to introduce over 150 people to the wonders of wild owls and the experience of our field work.
We are extremely grateful to the CSKT Wildlife Program for helping us set up our bear fence, keeping our station safe. Finally, we want to thank the Flathead Lake Biological
Station for providing the site and support to conduct this important research.
Hamilton's High School's Classroom Without Walls visited the banding station where students learned about biology, dissected owl pellets, and watched the research process. See photos below.
