The Natural History of Owls March 4, 2011

Owls, with their haunting hoots and cries and humanlike eyes, have been woven into folklore and legend since ancient times. Even today, because of their mostly nocturnal habits, owls are a fascinating, somewhat elusive group of birds to study. Spend an evening at the sanctuary learning about the natural history of the owl species that occur in Massachusetts. Following an indoor presentation, we will walk outdoors to listen for a great horned owl and try to summon up barred owls and eastern screech-owls. Registration is required. Call 978-887-9264 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=124-IP11WI1 for more information.
