Audubon club to hear about owls


March 7, 2013 · 2:59 PM

The Kitsap Audubon club will meet at 7 p.m. March 14 at the Poulsbo Library in the lower level. The public is invited to attend. The program will be presented by Jamie Acker who will speak about an owl study on Bainbridge Island.

Jamie will address his recently published paper documenting the decline of Western Screech-owl and tying that to the rapid expansion of the Barrel Owl. Jamie will also talk about his participation in “Project Owlnet,” a five-year research group devoted to banding Northern Saw-whet Owls to further understand the common migratory owl.

Jamie has been a birder for more than 40 years and has specialized in studying owls on Bainbridge Island since 1995.For more information check out www.kitsapaudubon.org or call 360 692-8180.
