When: Friday, March 25th at 7:00pm.
Where: Weber-Kelly Preserve in Georgetown
In the evening light, KELT welcomes folks of all ages to explore Weber-Kelly Preserve for owls. Led by nature enthusiasts Jane Harrison and Leigh Ann Fish, participants of all ages will listen to different owl calls, explore what makes a good owl home, and learn fun facts about these nighttime birds of prey. This is a free event!
Maine is home to eleven owl species, who spend all or part of the year in the state. These nocturnal predators can live in a variety of habitats from dense woodlands, to marshes, to urban environments like gulf courses or airports. Harrison and Fish will share recordings of various owl calls as they lead prowlers on a walk through the preserve. Meeting at dusk will optimize chances of seeing or hearing owls as wintertime is their mating season. Owls will be listening for possible mates and more eager to respond to calls, even if they come from a recording.
Prowlers should wear footwear with excellent tread and/or bring microspikes for traction on potentially icy trails. Packing a headlamp and dressing to spend 1 – 1 ½ hours outdoors are strongly encouraged.
