Location: Chebeague Recreation Center

Are you fascinated by owls, but never have the opportunity to see them up close? Here's your chance! Marcia and Mark Wilson, a naturalist and photographer who care for owls with permanent disabilities and use them as educational ambassadors, will be bringing six different owl species to the island.

Their Eyes on Owls program will also include a hooting lesson, an entertaining slideshow, and fun facts about our local owls’ unique adaptations. Attendees can purchase copies of Mark’s books Owling and The Snowy Owl Scientist signed and personalized by the author in person after the program.

This a perfect family activity with plenty of time for photos and questions. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about and get a close-up look at these mysterious nocturnal creatures!

This is a free event and all are welcome. Offered in collaboration with the Chebeague Rec Center.

Great Horned Owl by Mark Wilson. This is one of the birds that will be present at the program.
