Northern Saw-whets Arrive! November 1, 2010 By Communications Team After a few blank nights, the wind and moon finally died down and we captured several Saw-whet owls this weekend.

Audio equipment mimics the Saw-whet's call, luring owls to the net. This lure was made by our stalwart volunteer Louis Hahn.
