A Unity College ecology student anticipates a thesis project about local owls. Recently that student found a cache of saw-whet owl pellets and teased out the bones from several pellets. More details will appear here as the project develops.

A team from Unity College will conduct MOMP route 21-4-A Thursday morning 10 April 2008 in cooperation with a team from MIT. This will be a meeting of primitive and advanced technology for owl monitoring. Will the owls cooperate?
