The saw whet owl, shown above with Bernie Bouchard and two unidentified children, are the highlight of Owl Fest Days at the Woodland Dunes. The owls are very passive and a thrill to hold and observe. Anyone who loves wildlife and are able to attend the October event should monitor this site as I am sure AJE will be posting date and time. The number of owls on hand is determined by how many were "trapped" the previous night for banding purposes and retained for the public owl fest the next morning. Some years there has been many captured owls and other years they had only one or two.
The weather apparently has a lot to do with how many owls are actively migrating at any time. See you at Owl Fest!
