If you want to learn more about owls that live in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and what we can learn from owls, attend the presentation at Sugarloaf Cove Nature Center this Saturday at 10 a.m.
If you give a “hoot” about owls, try to take some time and attend the Saturday, April 7, presentation about owls at Sugarloaf Cove Nature Center. The talk begins at 10 a.m.
Growing concern about changes in the distribution, population status, and habitat loss for many species of owls led several of Minnesota and Wisconsin’s natural resource organizations to develop an Owl Monitoring project. Existing bird surveys, such as the Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Counts, poorly monitor most owl populations. The Owl Monitoring project filled that gap with a volunteer-based owl survey conducted in early to late April each year beginning in 2005.
What has the project learned about Minnesota owls? Which years were exceptional years for northern species such as great gray, boreal, and northern hawk owls? What is the Superior National Forest doing to aid some of these owls?
Join Dave Grosshuesch, wildlife biologist from the Tofte District on the Superior National Forest to find out what the owls have been telling us!
Cost is $5 per person or $10 per family payable at the door.
