Birds: Owls of Missouri Virtual Program Dec. 20

Because of owls’ nocturnal lifestyles and their hunting of mice, rats and other rodents that can be pests for humans, these night-time birds are a fascinating and beneficial part of Missouri’s outdoors.

People can learn more about owl species found in Missouri at the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) virtual program “Birds: Owls of Missouri.” This program, which will be Dec. 20 from 3-4 p.m. is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Springfield Conservation Nature Center. At this program, MDC Naturalist Morgan Wyatt will provide information about species of owls that are found in Missouri and will also have tips about how to identify their calls. This program is open to all ages. People can register for this program at:
