Owls are much loved in the bird world and seeing any owl is indeed a thrill. The secretive lives of owls are part of their mystique and can make them very difficult to find in the wild. This program explores how to look for owls in the wild. Through field experiences and knowledge about the life histories of owls, we will embark on a continuing expedition in search of owls and in the process reveal strategies for finding owls in your backyard, your local patch, and beyond. Preparation, ethical field practices, special considerations, skills and tactics for success will be discussed and illustrated with anecdotes and experiences from the field.

Presenter Gina Nichol has been a naturalist and birder for more than thirty years,  She first became fascinated with the natural world in rural upstate New York where she spent most of her childhood out of doors.  Through her company, Sunrise Birding, Nichol offers tours, workshops, and lectures that reveal the wonder of the natural world.
