Well the Hawk Station has been set up since the beginng of September and thus far we are at 0 Bandings. I have been able to get out 7 days of the first 13 and there has not been a Flight to speak of. Hopefully the predictions of a warmer and dryer than normal Fall are not true and we will get a better Flight than last Season.
The Owl nets will be setup by the 20th of the month and time will tell how well we will do!
On a sad note , we are with a Heavy Heart with the passing of Nancy Heidenriech.
I was lucky to have made several ventures around the Innisfree Properties with Nancy and her Husband Conrad. If it wasn't for them, my work on the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas would have suffered emencely and I would not have had the Good Fortune to have start the Innisfree Banding and Hawk Watch Station.
She will be sorely missed !Our Condolances go out to Conrad and their Children and all that knew and Loved her!
