Join an Audubon educator to learn all about owls at Audubon Community Nature Center’s newest monthly program, Natural Investigators.
You and your 8 to 12-year-old(s) can learn about these secretive, nighttime creatures at the inaugural Natural Investigators program on Saturday, January 28, 10 – 11:30 a.m.
Owls are rarely seen during the day and often are only heard at night. While seeing an owl is rare, you can learn about them from their signs.
The first part of the program will be indoors as you examine owl artifacts, looking at owl feathers, wings, and talons, and dissecting an owl pellet to find out what they eat.
You will then head outside to explore the woods and marshes that owls at Audubon call home.
This program takes place rain, snow or shine, so dress for the weather.
The fee is $12 for adults, $9 for Nature Center members and children ages 8 – 12.
Enrollment is limited to 12 children, 24 participants total.
Make your paid reservations – required by Thursday, January 26, 2023 – by calling (716) 569-2345 during business hours or by going to AudubonCNC.org and clicking through “Programs and Events.”
Natural Investigators is presented on the fourth Saturday of every month, 10 – 11:30 a.m.
