Monthly Program: "Owls of New Jersey"

New Jersey has eight species of owls that over-winter in the state. From the petite Saw-whet to the mighty Great Horned, owls are primarily nocturnal with excellent eyesight and hearing. This engaging program features an assortment of hands-on materials and bird mounts, and includes activities where participants will learn about owl characteristics, owl habitat, and owl calls.
