Nature Notes: A Maine Naturalist Afield

Sunset at Petit Manan Point | Tracey Faber

Host/Producer: Glen Mittelhauser

In this episode, Tracey and Coco Faber explain why Petit Manan Point, despite its sparse vegetation, is an effective place to band migrating Northern Saw-whet Owls. They discuss how coastal landscapes funnel migrants, why most Saw-whets they capture are females, and how cone-mast cycles drive dramatic swings in owl numbers from year to year.
