​The Wilsons explore these questions and more during this fun, interactive program.  

Marcia & Mark will introduce the audience to owls found in New England as well other parts of the world.   Marcia imitates the owls’ calls herself, paying special attention to the more common owls that we might encounter in our area.

​After a hooting lesson and lots of fun audience anticipation, Marcia will bring out the LIVE OWLS one at a time. With each owl perched securely on her gloved hand, Marcia will walk out among the audience with six or seven owls. There will be plenty of time for close-up views of the owls, photos and questions from the audience and budding naturalists.
    
Each owl presented has a permanent disability which prevents them from surviving on their own in the wild. These non-releasable owls are captivating ambassadors from the world of wildlife. The Wilsons are legally permitted by state and federal agencies to use live owls in their environmental educational programs.
CSVW is so grateful that OWLS UP CLOSE is COMING BACK THIS YEAR!
