Children's Room Programs

Jim Parks of Wingmasters will bring a variety of live North American owls to the library for this terrific presentation. Please note, per the presenter's request, this is not a program for children under 5. Owls are probably more misunderstood than any other kind of bird. These are hunting birds, yet their sharp beaks and talons are partly hidden under feathers. Owls have more and softer feathers than other birds, and this unique plumage gives them a plump, rounded look. Add an upright posture and huge eyes set in front like ours, and you have what looks irresistibly like a small, bemused person wearing a fur coat. In reality, owls are superbly adapted nocturnal hunters.

 

This program shows how owls use their specialized powers of sight, hearing and flight to survive and thrive. A wealth of fact and folklore about these masters of the night explains the natural and unnatural history of owls.

 

Registration is required! Attendance is limited to 100 total attendees.
