NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL BANDING WITH DR. GLENN PROUDFOOT
November 13, 2015 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Once again Dr. Proudfoot has graciously offered John Burroughs Natural History Society members the opportunity to get an intimate look at his fall Northern Saw-whet Owl banding sessions at the Mohonk Preserve. We will be allowed to visit Glenn on Friday, November 13th at 8:00 p.m. and participation will be limited to 24 individuals. This wonderful outing will include one sweep of the nets and a chance to see how processing works and should take about an hour to an hour and a half. Please contact me as soon as possible if interested as reservation will be on a first come, first serve basis. This is a wonderful way for members to learn more about (and support) the research done right here in Ulster County. The banding station is located at Bonticou Lodge, 299 Mountain Rest Road.
