Presented by:

Laurel Zoet

Naturalist Educator

Owls of Michigan: Owls seem to live for the night life. And with their nocturnal habits and impeccable camouflage it can be hard to spot members from this fascinating group of birds out in the wild.

Using pictures and videos, this program offers an inside look at the life of owls. With over 200 species of owls in the world, this program will also look at which owl species live here in Michigan, what they’re doing this time of year, as well as what you can potentially do in your yard to help them.
