Owls with Hoo’s Woods

Owls are some of the most beautiful, fascinating and elusive birds in the world. Snowy owls are the largest owl in North American and breed in the arctic. On occasion, snowy owls can be sighted during the winter months in Wisconsin. During education program participants will meet, Wesley, our education snowy owl and two other owl guests. Participants will learn about their natural history, breeding, habitat and behaviors.

Then stay after Hoo’s Woods presentation to discover what owls eat by dissecting an owl’s pellet. We will end the night with dark hike where we will listen for owl sounds in Big Hill Park. We might just hear one.
