 Spring Owl Banding at the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, Michigan, from 1981 to 1990. Part 2: Repeats and Returns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Whitefish Point data may be partially biased by some of the volunteer banders not recording all of their recaptures.
Obviously, a positive change in body weight between banding and recaptu re indicates that the owl had fed recently prior to recaptu re, so the timing of feeding is important to the recapture weight gain or loss between periods.
While geographically Whitefish Point may be a temporary dead-end stopover for some migrants, examination of the weights shows that those individuals remaining here do not undergo a significant weight change over time.
