The Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative is offering a free online webinar presentation on Wednesday, January 15th from 12-1pm: Owls of Ohio by Jim McCormac, Ohio Division of Wildlife January 15, 2014 from 12-1pm EST The first known bird artwork features Snowy Owls. People are still smitten with owls, 30,000 years after those ancient artists’ depicted owls in a cave in France. Owls are especially in the news this winter, due to a major Snowy Owl irruption that has brought dozens of the big white birds to Ohio. This program will discuss the fascinating features that make owls such formidable predators, their relationships with people, and the specifics of the eight species that regularly occur in Ohio.
