Birds of prey have long been a source of inspiration for humans. In this program, we will take an in depth look at some of the owls that live in the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. We’ll learn about what makes owls special, from their hearing, to their eye sight, to many of their other unique adaptations. Then, we’ll look at three of the owl species you can find in Wyoming: the snowy owl, the great-horned owl, and the northern saw-whet owl.
Your students will be able to see full mounts of these birds, skulls, feathers, wings, and feet.
