Big Night For Saw-Whet Owls

On Wednesday evening November 21st, myself and 10 Biology students from Millersville University visited the Saw-whet owl banding station in Schuylkill County Pennsylvania.  A total of 18 Saw-Whet Owls were captured and banded this evening.  According to the master bander Nate McKelvie, this was a big night for Saw-whet Owls.
