Description

The evening begins with an introduction to common owls found throughout Canada; Ontario; and specifically at Lake St. George. Participants learn about owl adaptations through games and a video; and investigate the diet of a barn owl by conducting a pellet dissection. Participants also learn which owl species are at risk in Canada; as they discuss threats to owl survival such as habitat loss and pollution; and what actions they can take to protect these magnificent creatures. The evening culminates in a hike into the forest to call and listen for owls.
