Owls of Northern Colorado
Join us for an amazing presentation given by Scott Rashid, director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute or CARRI, where he will discuss the Owls of Northern Colorado. This is a presentation about the 11 species of owls that can be found in Northern Colorado. These include the Snowy Owl, Great Horned Owl, Long-eared Owl, Short-eared Owls, Barn Owl, Burrowing Owl, Boreal Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, Flammulated Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, and the Northern Pygmy-Owl. These owls range in size from the diminutive seven-inch Flammulated and Northern Pygmy-Owls to the 24-inch Great Horned and Snowy Owls. During the program Scott will explain what time of year each species is most likely seen, their preferred habitats, what each species prefers to feed upon, where they nest, what their young look like and more. Attendees will see images and videos of owls in their nests raising their young, young owls growing and interacting with their siblings and capturing owls in the fall as they move to their wintering grounds. See you on the 29th !
Scott Rashid has been passionate about owls ever since the early 1980s and has been involved in wild bird banding and rehabilitation for many years. After moving to Colorado in 1989, he began banding, researching, and photographing several avian species. Scott is the director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institution (CARRI) and has been working with birds including hawks, owls, falcons, songbirds, and hummingbirds for more than 30 years. He has written and illustrated 6 books including Small Mountain Owls and Exploring the World of the Barn Owl (an intimate look into their secretive lives).
We're excited to have him share his stories with us!
