More saw-whet owl banding

I took this video with my phone. The first segment is of J and T disentangling the owl from the mist net, followed by a segment in which the bird was weighed. Once weighed, the bird was aged by looking at the pattern of porphorin fluorescence under a black light. Unfortunately my phone was not able to pick up the pink color of the fluorescence. After aging the bird (she was a second year bird) she was banded and the wing was measured.
