Main Audubon presents: Eyes on Owls at Gilsland Farm, Falmouth Maine

Eyes on Owls


Join naturalist Marcia Wilson, photographer Mark Wilson, and six live owls for an event devoted to these wonderful birds. The program includes a slideshow introduction to owls of New England and beyond, a hooting lesson, tips on finding owls without disturbing them, and an opportunity to see seven live owls. We will have intimate looks at those species native to the region and beyond — everything from the diminutive saw-whet owl to the giant eagle-owl. The two abbreviated morning sessions are focused for young children (ages 2 and up).
