Beaverhill Bird Observatory

Saw-whet owl. DAVID FAIRLESS

Want to get up close and experience bird science first hand? Attend one of the bird banding sessions at the Beaverhill Bird Observatory this year! Fall migration is upon us, and the BBO's Owl Migration Monitoring program will be starting up again soon. The primary objectives are to document the relative abundance and migration timing of Northern Saw-whet, Long-eared and Boreal Owls moving through the Beaverhill Natural Area during the fall.

Saw-whet and Long-eared owl monitoring begins around September 1st, Boreal owl monitoring starts around October 1st, and both end around November 11 or when snow forces the lab to close for the season.
