Owls in the Boreal Forest

Learn about what the 25-year owl banding project at Hilliardton Marsh Research and Education Center in Ontario has uncovered during next Wednesday’s free online presentation (Northern Saw-whet Owl).

Join a live presentation about Northern Saw-whet Owls, Boreal Owls, and Long-eared Owls as revealed by a banding project that focuses on these owls of the boreal forest. The live presentation will be delivered next Wednesday, November 19 at 11:00am CST by Bruce Murphy, bander and educator at the Hilliardton Marsh Research and Education Center in east-central Ontario.
