Mysterious Lives of Owls

Learn about friendly predators who keep rodents and harmful insects in balance. Become informed about how important owls are to our environment, and understand the dangers that threaten them. Participants will learn about six types of owls that frequent the North Bay. Participate by trying to identify them by their vocalizations! A video called Backyard Barn Owls, popular with all ages, will be shown. The highlight of the presentation will be a visit by an Ambassador Owl, an experience that will inspire participants to protect these amazing and majestic raptors.
