Course
Owling: The Darker Side of Migration
Course Overview
As darkness supplants daylight in the seasonal journey toward winter, the landscape along Lake Superior hosts a migration of owls that defies logic in its size. Thousands of Northern saw-whet owls course the shoreline in their quest for seasonal resources with one goal in mind: survival. During the fall migration, USFWS master bander Bill Lane bands and releases hundreds of owls, hoping that their movements and journeys will be documented to shed a little light on the mysteries of owl migration. Join him and the owls in his field laboratory for an evening you’ll never forget. In the event of a weather cancellation, this course will automatically reschedule to the following night.
