Adopt An Owl
Adopt a Northern Saw-whet and receive an official adoption certificate, a photo of an owl from this research season, its band number, and its original encounter data. The certificate also comes with a photo of an owl’s wing illuminated by ultraviolet light, the owl’s wing length, and its mass – owl researchers can use this information to determine the age and sex of migrating owls.
