*Eyes On Owls: A Live Owl Show*



*​*
*Who's watching you? Find out this Saturday, March 19th, when Eyes On Owls,
a Live Owl Show is presented by the Westport Land Conservation Trust at the
Westport High School Auditorium. All who attend are in for some fun with
educational close-up views of these secretive birds of prey. Naturalists
Mark and Marcia Wilson will present "Who's Watching You? Owls of the
World." Two shows will be offered this year at 10am and 1pm. *

The Wilsons introduce the audience to owls found in New England and other
parts of the world. A slide show begins the program by showcasing colorful
wildlife photos by her husband Mark Wilson. Marcia imitates the owls' calls
herself, paying special attention to the more common owls that we might
encounter in our area.

After a hooting lesson and much audience anticipation, Marcia brings out
the owls one at a time. With each owl perched securely on her gloved hand,
she walks out among the audience.


Each owl presented has a permanent disability which prevents him or her
from surviving on their own in the wild. These non-releasable owls serve as
captivating ambassadors from the world of wildlife. All the owls are
legally permitted by state and federal agencies for use in environmental
educational programs.

Which owl eats skunks? Can a little detective work reveal where owls live
near you? What do pellets tell us about an owl's diet, the food chain and
the web of life? How can we protect owls and their habitats? Wilson
explores these questions and more during this fun, interactive program.

*Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under (not recommended
