Bird City Event
All About Owls - Sylvia Marek
To celebrate the Village of Shorewood Hills’ World Migratory Bird Day, Sylvia Marek, Arboretum Naturalist, and outstanding birder, will tell us “All About Owls” on Wednesday, February 26 at 7:00 pm for the program (6:30 pm for refreshments). The event will be in the Village Hall’s lower level meeting room. Learn about Wisconsin’s twelve owl species, focusing on the three that nest in Shorewood Hills and how to identify these elusive birds of prey. Habitat, calls, courtship, and adaptations to acquire food will be discussed.
The Village of Shorewood Hills has been a Bird City since 2012. This is the Village’s fourteenth celebration of World Migratory Bird Day, which has been celebrated in North America since 1993. Initially named International Migratory Bird Day, it was observed on the second Saturday in May, but there were too many competing events on the same day. Now, many celebrations are held on other dates.
Bring friends and neighbors to this special presentation. The Shorewood Hills Garden Club and Parks Committee will provide refreshments.
