Saw-whets are ready...

It was beautiful outside this morning so I took advantage and decided to band my nestling Saw-whet Owls from a nest box close to Peace River. Pictures are from the start of egg laying to the finale of banding.





The weigh in which blew my mind! The oldest chick hatched on June.17th is already 104 grms!


Here is the whole batch of six young Saw-whets and 3 which were sitting on a branch.
