"Owls are some of the most charismatic and enigmatic birds out there. Once you reach beyond the mystery and learn about their remarkable sensory powers, hunting techniques, lifestyle, and diversity, they become even more fascinating. And discovering where to look and listen for them so that you can build your own connection with wild owls is truly transformative. I built this course to share the wonder of owls with you.
