| Short description: | Migration and habitat use by Northern Saw-whet Owls |
| Description: | Banding data suggest that large numbers of Northern Saw-whet Owls (Aegolius acadicus) migrate through southwest Nova Scotia during fall; at least some of these owls may winter in the region. Despite this, we know next-to-nothing about staging and wintering habitat use by this owl in the Maritimes. In addition, it is generally unknown how saw-whets deal with the Gulf of Maine ?barrier? separating the Maritimes with potential wintering habitat in the eastern United States. The objectives of the study are: 1) To examine habitat use of staging and wintering Northern Saw-whet Owls radiomarked during fall migration in Nova Scotia 2) To examine fall and spring migration chronology and routes for different sex and age classes of radiomarked saw-whet owls |
