Recaptures by other banding stations are very rare, but we are excited to report that a Female Northern Saw-whet owl banded back in 2016 was recaptured this week at the Rocky Point Bird Observatory in Victoria, BC. This is our 8th NSWO foreign recovery and the only recovery from across the Rockies. We also have 2 from Montana, 2 from Saskatchewan, and 3 from Alberta (near Calgary, Bragg Creek, and Grimshaw). Thanks to Rocky Point Bird Observatory for sharing the pictures of this special owl.This is a recap Female Northern Saw-whet Owl that we caught at our Rocky Point station on Monday Oct 8th. It was banded near Lesser Slave Lake on Sept 13, 2016! That is pretty cool! Wouldn't you love to know where she has been during this time?
