Boulder County Audubon Society is very pleased to bring you Scott Rashid, director of CO Avian Research & Rehab Institute, to our monthly program on March 22, which begins at 7:15 p.m.at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder.

Scott Rashid--author, artist, researcher, and director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute (CARRI)--will give a presentation on his research on two of Colorado’s most interesting and beneficial owls: the Barn Owl and the Great Horned Owl. Scott will discuss the results of having video cameras in active Barn Owl nests, which enable CARRI to monitor the nesting owls in real time.  The live videos of the owl families have been watched by millions of people all over the world! He will discuss the nesting habits of Barn Owls, including their egg-laying intervals, growth of the young owls, and the enormous numbers of small rodents that the male owls must deliver to their waiting families.

Scott has been working with Great Horned Owls for more than 20 years through monitoring nests, rehabilitating injured birds, raising orphaned owls, and banding both adult and nestling owls. He will describe the amazingly varied diet of this large owl, its nesting habits, and rehabilitation.

CARRI’s research—including its American Kestrel, Long-eared Owl, and Northern Goshawk projects—will also be discussed by Scott. Scott will bring copies of his new books on the Northern Goshawk and Great Horned Owl in addition to his older book, Small Mountain Owls, to sell at the meeting. Each book is beautifully illustrated by Scott, who has a unique painting style that combines Cubism and Realism.

More info here and at the CARRI website.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,
