A friend of ours provided the following feedback about the 'Owls of Upstate New York' presentation by Wildlife Learning Co (I will try not to miss the next one):
"I just attended an "owl" (not "OWL") presentation at SUCO this afternoon with my 6-year old ... [a man from Hartwick] brings rescued owls in and does talks for elementary school groups, scouts, general presentations for adults, etc."
"He brought a great horned owl, a screech owl, and a barred owl (not "barn"). He explained the behaviors and diets of each, as well as how they came to be in his care. (Owls are protected by law and cannot be kept as pets, but injured owls that cannot be released back into the wild after rehabilitation due to their injuries can be kept and shown by wildlife educators.) He brought each owl around the room so that all the audience members could get a good look, and passed around feathers of turkey vultures and owls so that we could see and feel the differences. It was a very informative and interesting presentation suitable for (almost) all ages."
