Look at this burritowl! Wrapping raptors in a cozy "burrito roll" allows them to be weighed safely. Afterward, this saw-whet owl was banded and released. Thanks to the Ward Lab of Ornithology (and Dave Edlund for the photo)! #owl 🦉

This fall we hosted 2 successful owl outreach events at Kennekuk & Homer Lake & another at Allerton - students & university staff educated ~250 people on owl biology, ecology, & conservation. At Kennekuk, we captured & released 27 owls, one of which was a recapture from last year! 🦉 #owl
