Research Interests
A bird bander for almost 20 years, Scott Weidensaul maintains an active field research schedule, with much of his work now focusing on the ecology and movements of the northern saw-whet owl (Aegolius acadicus), the smallest owl in the East. Click here to learn more about saw-whet owl research.
Weidensaul is one of fewer than 200 federally licensed hummingbird banders in North America. A new research interest of his is the rapidly growing number of western hummingbirds now appearing each fall and winter in the East.

| Each April, Weidensaul joins the crew of the Hummer/Bird Study Group at Fort Morgan, Alabama, banding migrant songbirds crossing the Gulf of Mexico. Learn more about HBSG and its research, and how to visit the banding site to see this incredible natural phenomenon first-hand.
For general information on bird banding, go to the website of the federal Bird Banding Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland .
To report a banded wild bird (other than a pigeon), you can use the Banding Lab's online reporting system.
