Since 2004, when we began to study Saw-whet Owls, we have documented 20 recaptured owls.  Seventeen of the owls were captured at Westchester Community College (WCC) in Valhalla NY.  These are noted on the map as squares for those banded at WCC and recaptured elsewhere, and circles for those banded elsewhere and recaptured at WCC.  Yellow indicates a same-season recapture, and blue indicates a different-season recapture.

One owl was banded at Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx NY, and is noted on the map as a P, 4YR,8MO.  This owl represents our longest time between captures.

Two owls were banded at Harriman State Park NY, and are noted on the map with a bright magenta.

For all owls the time between captures is given.
