Join the Owl Research Institute for our inaugural public program of Fall Visitor Nights at our Saw-whet Owl banding station at the Flathead Lake Biological Station!
Visitor nights are open to the public, with advance registration. Every Friday evening from September 22 through November 3rd, we will host visitors for a one-of-a-kind experience to learn about the natural history of Saw-whet Owls, ORI’s current research, and the impacts of our long-term data collection.
On lucky nights, you may even get to observe the process of banding, measuring, and releasing back to its habitat a live Saw-whet Owl! Whether our banding nets are productive that night or not, you can expect to learn how we safely and ethically catch and release these owls, touch real owl feathers and specimens, and talk to Field Biologists about their work.
