Swoop in for a fantastic introduction to the world of owls! Though not always seen, there are several clues owls leave behind that confirm their presence around us. Join Audubon Naturalist Bethany Sheffer in learning about these mysterious birds and how we can even identify individual wild owls' diets based on undigested material. Pellet dissection and craft are included in this program, in addition to the opportunity to meet a live resident owl.
