SUMMARY:February:  Denver Holt - "Step into the World of Owls: 35 Years of Research by the Owl Research Institute"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 13\, 2025\nSpeaker:  Denver Holt – “Step into the World of Owls: 35 Years of Research by the Owl Research Institute”  \n\nFounded by Denver Holt in 1987\, the Owl Research Institute (ORI) stands as one of the most active owl research groups in the world. For over 35 years\, ORI has been dedicated to the pursuit of in-depth and lasting studies that illuminate the enigmatic world of owls and their intricate ecology. While many wildlife biologists have gradually shifted away from fieldwork\, ORI continues the determined exploration of owl habitats throughout the entire year. \nORI maintains eight major owl research studies\, some of which have 30 to 37 years of data. Simultaneously\, younger projects offer 5 to 10 years of invaluable observations. Join owl expert Denver Holt for an insightful overview of ORI’s extensive projects and immerse yourself in his philosophies on the majestic Snowy Owl\, the elusive Long-eared Owl\, the captivating Short-eared Owl\, the regal Great Gray Owl\, mysterious Boreal Owl\, the adorable Saw-whet Owl\, the diminutive Pygmy Owl\, and so much more! \nDenver Holt is a widely published author who has been featured in many articles from National Geographic to the New York Times\, as well as in many television programs. He has educated and entertained people from all walks of life and enjoys guiding\, meeting new people\, and expanding his knowledge of wildlife and the natural world. \n\nLook for the Zoom link in your email a few days prior to the meeting. The Zoom Room will open at 6:45 PM.  Don’t wait until the last minute to sign on\, you might be left out!
