Northern Saw-whet Owls (Aegolius acadicus) have been of interest to researches recently to better understand the species’ movement ecology, migration phenology, and demographics. It was first thought that individuals observed of this species below 35°N were rare vagrants; however, recent studies captured individuals on a regular basis at 33°N latitude, setting the new record for geographic over-wintering location for the species. It is still uncertain, however, where most of these over-wintering southern birds breed. Currently, we are surveying locations in southern Alabama for these charasmatic little owls. We use standard protocols to survey for these owls based on Project Owl Net's work. We conduct night surveys from mid-October to the beginning of Decemeber. We use a call play back system to attract potential individuals into the owl mist nets.
