Western Screech-Owls Banding
Friday May 31 starting at 9 a.m.
Times and locations will vary depending on status of owl nests, please read directions below.
Biologist and licensed bander Kim Potter will join us to band the owls in the boxes we have been monitoring.
The first station is at 2670 Dahlia Court, which is in the cul-de-sac at the end of the road.
Dahlia Court is east of 26 1/2 Road (7th Street) between F (Patterson) and G roads in Cherryhill Subdivision.
After the first location, we will travel to other locations for the rest of the morning. It is not possible to provide a schedule because we never know how long we will be at a particular site. In the best of all worlds, we find a mother sitting on the oldest possible group of owlets that may still need some brooding. Then we can band the mother and the young. In that situation we could spend an hour or more there.
The worst case is that the last of the brood fledged the night before we got there--in which case we spend 10 minutes at the site and head for the second.
Nic Korte and Kim Potter will be guiding this adventure. You can call Nic's cell phone at 970-250-8144 throughout the morning to get an update on their location---or to be advised of the next location.

With over 1,900 avian species — more than any other country in the world — Colombia is a birder’s paradise waiting to be discovered.
This 9-day program focuses on the country’s northern highlights, including the Caribbean region and the Santa Marta Mountains, famed for their high level of endemic species. Explore high elevation mountains, dry forest, and coastal habitats in search of an array of tropical avifauna, including flycatchers, hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans, and more. Throughout your journey, meet members of the local community and learn about conservation efforts to use birding as a sustainable development resource. Part of the proceeds of this trip will help support GVAS. It's a win-win you don't want to miss. To view and download detailed information, click here >>>> Birding Colombia with Holbrook/GVAS
