Do you know why owls have lop-sided ears, three eyelids and a swiveling toe, or just how far they can rotate their heads?
You can find the answer to these and many more owl conundrums starting at 5 p.m., Saturday, February 24, at Genesee Country Village & Museum during “Owl Moon” – an evening devoted to owl lore.
Wild Wings Inc. of Honeoye Falls will be on hand with live owls and a 5:30 p.m. presentation on owl behavior, habitat and lifestyle. The owls will remain through the evening.
Between 5 and 8:30 p.m., enjoy 45-minute guided walks through the wintry woods at the Genesee Country Nature Center.
Later, sit by a campfire roasting marshmallows, sipping complimentary hot chocolate and listen to the beautiful nature story, the Caldecott Medal-winning Owl Moon by Jane Yolen.
General admission is $14/$10 GCV&M members. Reservations, available online at www.gcv.org, are required to take the guided hike.
