As promised, here are more photos of the saw-whet owl banding process. I've been able to join a few of these outings to observe and photograph, with both saw-whet and boreal owls. I am always grateful to be a part of the operation and expand my knowledge of these little forest dwelling raptors.

First time seeing the outside world...
Waiting to be weighed & measured

Measuring the wings
Taking measurements while the owlet took the opportunity to void its bowels
It's always a good idea to bring a spare sheet for recording measurements
