Owl "Hunting"

Stuff We Love
By Lynda Wheatley | Jan. 29, 2022

Whooooo loves owls? We do. Yet most of us — even the night hikers among us – have rarely seen one in the wild. And that’s exactly why we’re logging on to North Central Michigan College’s upcoming Lifelong Learning Club presentation Owls of Michigan. Professional ornithologist Jamie Platt  is leading the presentation, and as his bio says, he “helps people find birds.” The course, which will be held online — at 7pm over two Thursdays, Feb. 3 and 10 — promises to teach us how, where, and when to find and identify by sight and sound the 10 owl species in Michigan. $30.
