Everyone loves owls! Yet, how often do you get to see a live owl up close?
Perhaps you've glimpsed the shadowy form of a Great-horned owl in the headlights as you traveled a backroad at night. Have you ever scanned a frozen saltmarsh or farmer's meadow in winter, hoping to find that Arctic hunter, the Snowy Owl? How about a mob of noisy crows circling a white pine tree? Have they found an owl?
Join naturalist Marcia Wilson and photographer Mark Wilson in sharing their passion for owls! "Who's Watching You? Owls of the World" will introduce you to the owls of New England and beyond.
Mark and Marcia share the field marks, signs and naturalist's skills that you can use to find wild owls without disturbing them. We will meet six live owls (from small to BIG) up close. Everyone is treated to a hooting lesson as well as tips on how to attract and protect owls near you.
The program is suitable for children in 2nd grade and above. Younger children 5 years and above may enjoy the 75 minute program. All children must be accompanied by adults for the entire program. Light refreshments will be served.
Registration required. While the program is free, seating is limited. Please email info@walthamlandtrust.org or call 781-893-3355 with your registration information.
