Birds 'n Bites - Owls of Yellowstone
Description
Please join us via Zoom on Tuesday, January 18, at 7:00 PM for a presentation by Katy Duffy about the Owls of Yellowstone. During this presentation, we learn about owls and their habitat preferences in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Duffy discusses the owls found in Yellowstone National Park and plays the vocalizations of male owls as they advertise for mates in the winter and spring. Katy Duffy has studied owls since 1979. She has a master bird banding permit and has banded nearly 5,000 owls, mostly during fall migration in Cape May, New Jersey, but also in Wyoming and Montana. For the past 24 years she has conducted surveys for vocalizing owl species during late winter and spring in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as well as the Gallatin National Forest.
Duffy has an MS in ecology from Rutgers University and worked for the National Park Service in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for 32 years. She continues to volunteer hundreds of hours each year for Yellowstone’s bird program.
