About this Event
Rocky Point Bird Observatory has banded and collected data on more than 11,500 Northern Saw-whet Owls, giving us insight into population cycles and the health of individuals and allowing us to collaborate with a continental network of researchers through data sharing. Though we have learned that Southern Vancouver Island is on an important migratory route for these birds, we know very little about their wintering and breeding locations.
RPBO is exploring new technologies and partnerships that will allow us to learn more and to protect their important habitats. The owl banding season begins September 15th and ends October 31st. Tickets can be reserved from September 22nd-October 30th, Friday thru Monday at 8, 9, or 10pm.
Please sign up at least 24 hours before you plan to come visit the station.
Please monitor the weather on the day of your visit. Adverse weather (high winds and/or rain) may require us to close our operations at short notice as it's not safe for the birds to be in the nets during such conditions. We will try to notify those signed up of any closures or cancellations, but please be aware that this may occur last minute, and we won't be able to notify you in time.
