Saw-whet Owl Study

Some photos of the banding process


Band is applied to the leg	Wing is measured

Toe Pad length is measured (may give us a reliable means of determining males and females)	Bill is measured (three different measurements are taken to help determine male or female)

Bird Is Weighed (this also helps determine male or female as the females are typically larger/heavier than males)
