Hip-Hoot-Hooray! It's Our Owl's Birthday!
Lightning, our Eastern Screech Owl, is turning 6 years old! Join us for an evening celebrating owls through art, photos, interactive info stations, and stay through the end to watch Lightning be offered some birthday treats. There will be a livestream for his birthday cake, so join us online if you can't make it in person! This is a free event, but registration is required to ensure there are enough materials. Register by April 29.
