Credit: 1 hours Section Title: Owl Migration & Education Section Info: We will conduct research on the migration of Northern Saw-whet Owls in central Illinois. The students will be part of the research in which we capture, band, and attach radio transmitters to owls. The students will also learn about automated radio telemetry and how to analyze large telemetry datasets. Students will also be responsible to help organize and participate in an “owl night” where the general public will be invited to see owls and learn about owls in the areas; specifically the ecology and conservation of Northern Saw-whet Owls. As owls are nocturnal this course will be in the evenings (5:00 PM to 11:30 PM) during a weekday, there will be some weeks in which the research will be conducted on two nights and the students can pick which night they want to attend. The lectures, research, and education will be in a local (30 minutes from campus) preserve; transportation will be provided. This section will have a field trip fee of $60.
