RFI: Saw-whets in Albemarle?



HI . .

Now that I've become addicted to owl banding, my ears are tuned 
(asymmetrically, of course) to reports of Northern Saw-whet Owls in 
the Carolinas.

As of 12/10/99 I've netted seven saw-whets and one brown-phase 
Eastern Screech-Owl.

The Carolina Raptor Center in Charlotte has one that was picked up in 
Raleigh earlier in the month.

A Center staffer also said she had heard of a bat specialist, perhaps 
near Albemarle, who had netted several saw-whets. Does anyone know 
who this bat person might be and how to contact him/her?


Thanks,

BILL
