Not a week goes by without some
interesting bird activity in the Long Point/Port Rowan area.
The period from mid-October until early November is notable as Northern Saw Whet Owls are moving from boreal forests into and through our area.
This small nocturnal owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, while common, is not often seen. However, on some evenings, staff at the nearby Long Point Bird Observatory’s (LPBO) Old Cut banding station capture and band dozens of these owls.
