Winter Speaker Series Features Saw Whet Owls

Alfred’s second annual Winter Wildlife Speaker Series continues Thursday March 8, 6:30-7:30pm upstairs at Alfred’s Town Hall, with a presentation by Judy Camuso from the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

She’ll tell us about her work banding Northern saw-whet owls in southern Maine. She operates one of 25 banding stations along the east coast, set up to better understand this elusive animal. These tiny, beautiful owls weigh only a couple of ounces and many people mistake them for baby owls. They are fairly common in Maine, but small, quiet, and nocturnal – making them rarely seen and difficult to study!

Free and open to the public!
