Owls

species: 
Ural Owl
scientific name: 
Strix uralensis
notes: 

ELSA-like c-ring with two holes to fit (clue) RFID-transmitters.

note 1 : used rings are ELSA like-rings (see picture) with code : 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.

note 3 : first releases in 2009, first breeding couples in the wild 2011. In the mean time 15 territories and 70 chicks that fledged in the wild (+267 released).
