ALL Zoom Sessions and Field Excursions - roughly 15 hours of small group, community gathering & discussion paired with a small group, in-person experience! This does not include your time reading the book.

Activity Kit - for Zoom the night of Nov 13th (to be mailed to all participants).

Guided Birding & Naturalizing with a focus on owls, where applicable - roughly 4-5 hours in the field scoping for owls, and/or proof of presence of owls (pellets, poop, feathers, etc.). While our heading is owl-centric, we’ll also watch for other bird and mammal species during the entirety of the excursion. Plan to caravan to the scouting locations *Please note: as with all wild animals and birds, we commit to doing our best to locate owls but cannot make any promises—these nocturnal birds move about each night. But, with the knowledge of different, preferred areas, our chance for an encounter is good!
