Boxborough Birders present - Mark and Marcia's Eyes on Owls with live owls.

Everyone loves owls! Yet, how often do you get to see an owl up close? The Boxborough Birders invite you to attend our “Eyes on Owls” program on October 24 from 7:00PM – 8:30PM. The program is offered by teacher/naturalist Marcia Wilson and author/photographer/naturalist Mark Wilson, who delight in sharing their passion for owls!

The program introduces you to the owls of New England, such as the Great Horned Owl, Northern Saw-Whet Owl, and Eastern Screech Owl, to name a few. You will meet six live owls and get to see them up close, learn about their habits and habitats, and listen to the different calls each one makes. Mark and Marcia point out the field marks of each owl, and detail the signs and naturalist’s skills that you can use to find wild owls in the woods—without disturbing them. They also provide tips on how to attract and protect owls near you. This program is appropriate for ages 5-years and up. Please join us for a fun and informative evening. Space is limited, so please register in advance by October 20.

This event is presented by the Boxborough Birders, with financial support from the Friends of the Boxborough Library, and the Boxborough Well-Being Committee.
