Owls of Illinois - RO

In Person, Adults 55+

Join Alyse Burman from WildBird Shack to learn about the owls of Illinois!

Owls have long captured the human imagination with their silent flight, haunting calls, and piercing eyes. These mysterious birds of prey are not only fascinating, but they're an essential part of Illinois' natural ecosystem. In fact, eight different owl species call Illinois home, each with its own unique characteristics and behaviors.   We look forward to Alyse Burman's discussion of these magnificent birds!
