Experience one of the Ned Smith Center's most popular fall traditions! Each autumn, dedicated volunteers head into the woods to band Northern Saw-whet Owls—Pennsylvania's smallest owl species—as part of a long-running research effort. During this special evening program, you'll learn about Pennsylvania's native owls, the science of bird banding, and how decades of research are helping us better understand the migration and ecology of these secretive nocturnal birds.

After the presentation, we'll visit a site on the property where volunteers will have mist nets set in hopes of capturing a Northern Saw-whet Owl. If we're fortunate enough to catch one, you'll have the opportunity to observe the banding process up close before the owl is safely released.

Please note: Because this is an active wildlife research program, seeing a live owl cannot be guaranteed. If no owls are captured during the program, there will be no live animals.
