Cod Museum of Natural History, Route 6A, Brewster.  Meetings are free and

Adaptations in Owls.*

With their intense, almost human stares, fascinating adaptations for
nocturnal hunting, and secretive nature, owls are a favorite group for most
birders. They occur on all continents except Antarctica and have populated
the most remote groups of islands in the world, including Hawaii. Today we
recognize between about 250 species worldwide.

 International owl expert *Denver Holt* is founder and president of the Owl
Research Institute and the Ninepipes Wildlife Research Center, a nonprofit
organization located in Charlo, Montana.Holt’s research was the cover story
for *National Geographic* *Magazine*, and his work has been the subject of
many television bites on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Disney, as well as
featured on Audubon’s *Up-Close Series*, PBS’s *Bird Watch,* and David
Attenborough’s *Life of Birds,* among others. To learn more about Holt and
