FALL
SCHEDULE 2011 - OWL BANDING |
Click here for the passerine (morning) banding schedule |
Below
is the current schedule for the fall 2011 Saw-whet Owl banding program. Note that McGill campus security locks the gate to the Arboretum not long after sunset, therefore it is important to arrive at the meeting time listed for each date. Our standard approach is to have the nets open for four hours, beginning roughly a half hour after sunset. Taking into account closing of nets and banding any owls from the final round, departure time is on average around five hours after the meeting time. On nights when owl migration appears to be strong, banding may continue longer, but volunteers are not obligated to stay beyond the standard period.
Note that because owl migration is quite weather dependent, we will not operate on nights with rain or strong winds. The bander-in-charge will assess conditions each afternoon, and will by 3 pm post a note on the MBO Twitter page indicating whether owling is taking place that evening. All volunteers are responsible for checking on the status prior to coming out.
This
volunteer list will be updated at least weekly and any significant changes
to the schedule will be circulated via the MBO mailing list. To be added/removed for
any dates, e-mail us at mbo @ migrationresearch.org. Dates which are already full are marked in red.
Please consider helping fund the owl banding program by adopting an owl!
