I enjoyed your blow-by-blow account of trapping the owls wirh a Bal-Chatri , Indian for “Boys Umbrella” see :http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/JFO/v030n01/p0018-p0026.pdf for more details of the history of the trap. Also ,check out National Geographic, 1942, the Craighead ,Craighead account of their Indian adventure that describes the trap where it was invented.

And guess who did the housework while his wife was off playing. Still, it was the adventure of a lifetime for her. I love you, winterwoman!

I really need to hook up with some of the local banders – this story and Tom’s banding stories always make me jealous that I don’t get to see these birds more closely. Thanks for the entry and the pictures of this wonderful experience.

I’m still all jazzed up over this experience. I asked Tom when the feeling will go away. He said, “Never.” I said, “Good.”

You must have been the lucky charm for the crew. :) I was pretty stoked when we caught a Long-eared in the fall, so I can only imagine what it was like getting to see these beautiful birds up close.
