Our 2nd Northern Saw-whet Owl of the fall was a hatching year female recapture! This bird is what we refer to as a foreign recapture, meaning that it was trapped and banded initially at another banding station probably north of us, this fall.
Colored Sanda Forest Preserve, Illinois


Found the first recapture as I continued scrolling!
Look at those fuzzy little peets! She got fluffy white lil socks on, that’s so cute!!
Nobody likes cold feet! 😊
