>>Hi all! We heard some strange saw-whet vocalizations shortly after we set up
>>last night and I was sure we would have one on the 1st run but no luck. We
>>had to wait until our 10:30 run to catch a saw-whet. She was an
>>After-hatch-year female. We've about given up on staying all night (sleep is
>>good) so we are usually closing by 11:30 now. We are planning on netting
>>again on Wednesday night.

>>I've attached a pic in black light. Someone figured out that it is much
>>easier to age these guys under black light. The newer, less worn the feather
>>the more pink. Porphyrin is produced in the owls liver and is a component of
>>some of the feathers. While it may be hard to see in the pic, this gal had
>>3 generations of feathers in the primaries and secondaries. The bright pink
>>feathers were just replaced this fall. The lighter pink feathers were
>>replaced last year and there are a few with basically no pink. We have to be
>>careful when deciding age of the tertials, since they are more exposed, they
>>lose the pink coloration faster and look more worn than other same age
>>feathers.
>>
>>ENJOY!
