Saw-Whet Owls

Saw-whets are Ohio’s smallest owl. With a handful of nesting records in Ohio, Saw-whets breed mostly in northern boreal forests, with some venturing south in the fall and winter months. Bird bander and Crawford Park District volunteer Bob Placier will return with his mist nets to gather data on these little owls. There will be a PowerPoint presentation, followed by checks of the mist nets in the hopes of catching a few of these nocturnal flyers. Between net checks, there will be a craft for kids to work on and a campfire to enjoy the fall evening. Dress for the weather. Fun for the whole family!
