Learn about the amazing migration of Saw-whet Owls and how Indiana Audubon researches the annual fall migration through the Indiana Dunes. We'll explore the unique natural history, migration patterns, and population dynamics of this small and sometimes too cute owl, as well as how you can participate in and watch the owl banding on select nights at the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center.
