Hoos in the woods? Biologist Stacia Novy will talk about the raptors in our own residential neighborhoods. Hawks, eagles, falcons and owls encountered during a day or night on the town will
be covered. Ever wonder about the hawk that suddenly appears at your bird feeder? What about those strange calls heard in the middle of the night? And what kind of hawk sits on telephone wires? Attend this program to learn the answers and identities of these highly-urbanized, feathered friends!
