Join the NYC Audubon Young Conservationists Council for its first Zoom “Flappy Hour” on April 16, at 5pm ET. FREE It’s been a big year for owls in New York City. First there was Rocky, the Northern Saw-whet Owl found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in December, and then only a few weeks later we had our first Snowy Owl sighting in Central Park in 130 years! Given all of this owl excitement, now is a great opportunity for young birders and conservationists to learn more about the owls that live in the five boroughs of New York City, and how to seek out and watch owls in ethical fashion! Run of Show: 1. Ornithologist Dr. Shannon Curley discusses owls in NYC and ethical owling. 2. Meet an Eastern Screech-Owl with the Raptor Trust in New Jersey. 3. Play Owl Trivia . The NYC Audubon Young Conservationists Council is a group of eight young New Yorkers who are committed to sharing the wonders of this city’s diverse ecosystem with the next generation of New Yorkers, and who are dedicated to protecting and conserving its natural habitats.
