Research and Workshops

The Linwood Springs Research Station (LSRS) is a raptor research station located in central Wisconsin. Each summer research is conducted on the nesting ecology of the Red-shouldered Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk to determine reproductive performance, reoccupancy, natal dispersal and nest site fidelity.  Each fall Northern Saw-whet Owls are captured and banded to gain information about their migration routes, molt patterns, mortality, and winter and summer ranges.  Over 11,000 Saw-whets have been banded since netting operations began in the fall of 1988.  Adopt-A-Raptor information.

Each night during October, we offer owl banding programs to public groups where participants see our research up close.
