[nysbirds-l] "Snowy Owls" by Jean-François Therrien. Queens County Bird Club - Wed, Feb 17 at 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
February 17, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 


The presentation will be “"Snowy Owls: The Ultimate Nomads" by Jean-Francois 
Therrien of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.  
When there is a winter “invasion” of Snowy Owls, birders go nuts. Why does this 
happen—the invasion, that is? As senior research biologist at Hawk Mountain 
Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, Canadian-born Jean-François Therrien will review 
recent results of the sanctuary’s research program, emphasizing the movement 
patterns as well as the reproductive behavior of Snowy Owls.  He will 
demonstrate the fieldwork and the monitoring techniques that are used for these 
highly mobile and unpredictable predatory birds over a period of consecutive 
years. Therrien is currently at work on various aspects of raptor conservation 
science such as satellite tracking of hawks, falcons, vultures, and 
owls—especially the close monitoring of American Kestrel populations.
