Was able to attend a Saw-whet Owl banding at the Kiptopeke Banding Station on the Eastern Pennisula of Va. They play owl recordings and catch them in nets which they check every couple of hours. They then band and release. The Saw-whet is about the size of a coke can and is only active at night. They are very shy and most people have never seen one.They eat mice which they tear up with their claws. The Biologist had many scars on her hands. No flash was allowed and these are all lit only by the headlight of the Biologist doing the banding. ASA was set to 1000 f2.8 with a 24-70 Zoom lens. Shutter speeds were only 1/40 at most.
