Our Local Owls - Their Lives, Behaviors & Calls
Activity Level - Moderate night hiking with uneven terrain
HOP co-founder Trinka Marris will present.
Owls are creatures of rare beauty and unique biological interest. They play an enormously important role in keeping the balance in nature. Come spend an evening with these large-eyed, silent-flying creatures and learn why they are so magical. In this class, we will learn about the local owls of the Bay Area, their habitat requirements and how to identify the hoots of individual species. After learning a brief natural history of each owl, we will get up-close and personal with a local barn owl pair and their fledglings through "owlcam" footage from their nest box. Attendees will also get the rare treat of meeting Wookie, HOP's ambassodor owl, in person before heading out into the field to explore some of their preferred habitats.

Hungry Owl Featured in San Francisco Chronicle
The San Francisco Chronicle featured HOP for its work with the Marin Civic Center. The paper wrote " The wily rodents have been wreaking havoc on government property at the San Rafael center. The buck-toothed vermin, it turns out, are a delicacy to barn owls, a family of which can gobble between 3,000 and 5,000 a year." Rats have done more than $7,000 of damage and owls will be part of the integrated pest management solution. HOP built and installed the boxes. Read the story and see the photos of the box installation.-
