RESULTS SO FAR, OUR BEST YEAR YET!

We are having a fabulous season for owls!  Last year at this time we were at 77 owls at this date and we are currently at 84. Click here to see 2011/2012 comparisons. Our hatch year to adult ratio is higher this year, indicating a decent reproductive rate in the 2012 season. Here are the latest stats:
10/27 7 NSWO, 2HY/5AHY
10/29 1 NSWO, AHY
11/1   6 NSWO, 2 HY, 4 AHY
11/2   8 NSWO 4 HY, 4 AHY
11/3 10 NSWO 5 HY, 5 AHY
