| Transcript | The Spoonbill A Publication of the Ornithology Group (OG) of the Houston Outdoor Nature Club March 2006 Vol.55 No. 3 March Meeting Monday, March 6, 2006 - 7:00 p.m. Bayland Community Center 6400 Bissonnet, Houston 6:30 — Learning Corner with Mary Anne Weber Owls Program with Denver Holt: The Owls of North America and their Adaptations Owls are perhaps the most widely recognized group of animals in the world. Owl lore, myth, and stories have been verbally passed along in many native cultures throughout the world. There are 20 species of owls that breed in the United States and Canada. Denver Holt is the founder and president of the Owl Research Institute and the Ninepipes Wildlife Research and Education Center. Since 1978, his particular focus has been on researching owls and their ecology. Denver has published papers and technical documents, including three species accounts for the Birds of North America project. He was the team leader for the Strigidae (owls) species accounts for The Handbook of the Birds of the Wortd, and he has co-authored a science book on owls for childem. In 2000 Denver was named Montana's Wildlife Biologist of the Year by the Montana Chapter of the Wildlife Society of America. His work has been featured on CNN Science News, Audubon's Up-Close series, PBS's Bird Watch, David Attenborough's Life of Birds, and "National Geographic". With thirty years of experience on which to draw, Denver's program covering field marks, habitat requirements, and vocalizations will surely offer new insights to finding and identifying owls. After speaking to OG on Monday night, Denver will present a program to Houston Audubon Society on Wednesday, on his research on the Snowy Owl. That research was the basis of a cover story in National Geographic.
