Unity Free Library presents Owls of New England

PETER CHRISTOPH
UNITY — Wildlife photographer Peter Christoph has delivered his presentations to New England library audiences, both large and small, more than 150 times.

Discover the Owls of New England. In this captivating presentation, Peter delivers stunning photographs of his favorite owls combined with stories that entertain, educate and inspire the audience. You’ll learn the secrets Peter uses to find and photograph these same owls in the wild in their natural habitat! Eight species of expected owls in New England include: great horned, barred, and eastern screech – all year-round residents and fairly easy to spot. Long-eared, short-eared, and snowy are winter migrants and breed far north of us. Northern saw-whet owls do breed in New England but are quite small and rarely seen. Barn owls have bred in New England but are the toughest of all to find. He’ll wrap up this exceptional wildlife program with beautiful images of a vagrant migrant- a rare visitor called the great gray owl.

Join us for a free presentation at 1 p.m. the Unity Town Hall on Saturday, Dec. 29.
