Owls Of The Salt Marshes And Forests

We will start our program with a field trip to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. We will search the salt marshes and dunes for the diurnal-hunting snowy owl and the crepuscular short-eared owl. By about 6:30 pm we will return to Joppa Flats for a lecture about the place owls hold in folklore and literature and an in-depth discussion of the biology and natural history of North American owls. We will conclude our program with a field trip to Newbury and Rowley to search for eastern screech-owls, barred owls, and great horned owls. Come along! This program promises to be a real hoot!
