Owls

species:

Ural Owl

scientific name:

Strix uralensis

notes:

Red ELSA-type ring with two holes to fit (clue) RFID-transmitters.

note 1 : used codes are MZ 001 till 999

note 2 : the Ural owl which shall be reintroduced along the northern slopes of the Alps. Thus we dream to reconnect the already isolated sub-populations in Bohemia (GER/CZ) with those in the Dinaric Alps (SLO & CRO). Together with Wolfgang Fiedler we managed to construct a new ring type. The ring is very similar to the ELSA rings (same material and same type of production) but has two holes to. With help of this transmitters we should be able to re-identify the owls life long at numerous nest boxes we provide in the study area.
