One of the last species we capture each fall is the Northern Saw-whet Owl. The smallest owl in the East, this species moves south in mid October in search of food. The numbers that move vary a lot depending on how successful the breeding season was. This fall we’ve captured fewer than average which means most owls probably stayed well to our north for the winter.

No no, it’s the same number of

Damn, that made me snort
My grammar went on vacation along with me.
And not to the fucking US, either.
It is actually in Florida right now, but to be fair, it was already in the US to begin with.

Naw, I only touch on owl related political things, and even then, only when something new and significant is going on.
I just wanted to catch you guys a little by surprise what community you were looking at. 😇
I come for the owls. I stay for the titles.
I love when I get a real creative one.

Someone gotta balance out the force that is the White Faced Owl.
Snowy and Burrow are no slouches either!
