Scientists from the University of Maine study Northern Saw-whet Owls stopping on migration at Petit Manan Point, part of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge. This project, coordinated by David Brinker of Project OWLnet hopes to add to a wealth of information being collected as part of an international flyway tracking network. Owls are captured, banded, and then fitted with radio nanotags before being released. The reserachers hope to gain insights into the migration patterns of these owls as tagged individuals depart from the Northern Maine Coast and pass by towers, spanning from eastern Canda to the Chesapeake Bay, as they fly south on fall migration.
