SUMMARY:RTP Estuary Center: All About Owls - Zoom Meeting
DESCRIPTION:All About Owls – Zoom Meeting\nWednesday\, January 14; 6-7 p.m.\n\nPerhaps no other family of birds captures the imagination of birders and non-birders alike more than owls. These nocturnal birds often remain mysterious to us\, with their presence revealed mainly through their calls. In this webinar\, Conservation & Education Coordinator Joe Attwater will go over these amazing birds and how they thrive when most of the bird world is inactive. Joe will discuss adaptations to their nocturnal lifestyle\, species you can see and hear in Connecticut\, and threats and conservation issues. \nRegister Here for Zoom Link\nFree to attend. Suggested donation $10. Registration required
