Each of the four owls will have a turn in the spotlight as you learn where it would be seen in the wild, what a pellet looks like, does it migrate, what does it eat . . . The program actually begins at 10:45 am and will be held in our greenhouses. You may want to bring your own camp chair in case we run out of seating, and dress for the cool seasonal weather. A few notes about this event: Photos can be taken during the event, but there will be no photo ops with the owls or holding or touching them.
