  Starting in late October, students of Assistant Professor Freedberg teamed up with banding expert Greg Munson to net and band Saw-Whet owls at Weaver Dunes Field Station in Kellogg, MN. These owls are passing through southeast Minnesota on their migration south. Banding experts throughout Minnesota have been drawing the owls in by playing a Saw-Whet owl call, catching the owls in a mist-net, and then processing the birds and banding them to monitor this population. |
