The winter months are a magical time to possibly hear or see the resident owl species of Connecticut. Join Greenwich Audubon naturalist Ryan MacLean in partnership with the Greenwich Botanical Center in the Montgomery Pinetum for a special evening program to learn about and search for our nocturnal avian predators. The program will start with an indoor slide show in the Greenwich Botanical Center Main Building where you will learn about owl life history, the species that call our region home both year-round and during the winter as well as how you can help protect owls in your neighborhood habitats.
Following this indoor portion, we will quietly venture outside to listen and look for owls on the grounds of Montgomery Pinetum. While hearing or seeing owls is far from guaranteed, Ryan will guide the group on how to safely look and listen for these birds in areas of appropriate habitat.
This program also coincides with Cornell's Great Backyard Bird Count and you will learn how to submit checklists of birds you see, including owls to this weekend-long global bird survey!
