Presentation Description –
Join Doug Inkley, Station Manager at the Lambs Knoll Master Banding Station, for an engaging look at the research and conservation efforts focused on the Northern Saw-whet Owl. Operated entirely by volunteers, Lambs Knoll is part of Project Owlnet, a continent-wide monitoring program that has helped reveal important patterns in owl populations and migration. Doug will show how the team of research volunteers conducts the owl monitoring work at Lamb’s Knoll. He will also discuss the broader findings and impacts of Project Owlnet research, uncovering where these tiny owls travel and the challenges they face. Join us to learn more about how we learn about these tiny nocturnal predators swooping over ridges in darkness on their fall migratory path!
