Join conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni and Stefan Martin, local expert birder on a short nocturnal foray to the edge of the expansive forest at Deer Pond Farm, where we will broadcast the calls of a few of our native owl species to see if we can elicit a response. Sighting or hearing an owl cannot be guaranteed, although the experience of walking in the winter woods under a full moon is sure to memorable. We’ll also discuss the characteristics and ecology of different owl species, the challenges they face in winter, and the ethics of birdwatching in the era of birding apps and Bluetooth speakers. Be sure to dress warmly, and bring a flashlight or headlamp.
