People worldwide have long been captivated by owls, though the intimate details of their lives go unnoticed by most, held secret by the night. Vermont is home to a diverse cadre of owl species including fearsome nocturnal predators, iconic visitors from the high arctic, and stealthy migrants who pass through our backyards by the hundreds. We will explore the unique position owls hold in both our culture and our ecosystems, and learn ways to detect and protect these enigmatic creatures. We'll then focus on the smallest and most elusive resident of Vermont's owls, the Northern Saw-whet Owl.

Sean Beckett is the Director of Natural History Programs at North Branch Nature Center where he coordinates NBNC's saw-whet owl research program.
