BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Researchers are catching and banding tiny owls to learn more about their comings and goings through Indiana. One thing they've learned is that there are more Northern saw-whet owls than once was thought. Some 135 of the little raptors were counted in 2003, up from about 20 per year in the 1980s and '90s.
