Are you curious about owls and their mostly nocturnal activity? You will spend classroom time examining owl wings, tails, and feet (on loan from Yellowstone National Park) along with a presentation showing images of owls found in Yellowstone and their preferred habitats. You will also learn the vocalizations owls make when they are seeking a mate. You will then explore owl habitat during an afternoon field trip. That evening, you will conduct a sample owl survey. The following morning, you will explore additional habitat for different owl species.
