Chewonki at the Gardens: Owls of Maine

Two live owls are the highlights of this program introducing participants to the owls native to Maine and New England. Using pictures and sounds, participants will learn the identifying characteristics and calls of each owl. Then, using talons, wings, and skulls, explore the adaptations of these silent nocturnal hunters. This program features an intimate and detailed look at live owls, bringing these creatures of the night into the light!

Chewonki’s single-day naturalist residency programs are free to all guests with admission. This is the first of three days, all focusing on different parts of Maine’s native biodiversity.
