DESCRIPTION:  The Hungry Owl Project is thrilled to present “Owls of Marin” an 
 educational and fun presentation for families. This is a great opportunity 
 to learn about the owls that live among us. Many owls are more active at 
 night so they are more often heard than seen.  You will hear the calls made 
 by the different species of owls that live in Marin.  This will be a unique 
 opportunity to see live owls.   Discover what we know about the interesting 
 lives of owls and how they benefit humans.\n\nThere is a $15 suggested 
 donation for adults and $5 for children under 12 accompanied by an adult... 
  Funds raised benefit the Hungry Owl Project whose mission includes 
 conservation of cavity nesting birds by providing nesting boxes for owls, 
 bluebirds, hawks, and bats. \n \nThe Hungry Owl Project is a program of 
 WildCare (www.wildcarebayarea.org ), a non-profit wildlife hospital and 
 education center in San Rafael. The Hungry Owl Project is dedicated to the 
 conservation of cavity nesting birds through education and by providing 
 nesting boxes for owls, bats and bluebirds. Loss of habitat and removal of 
 old farm buildings has caused a steady decline of Barn Owls in many parts 
 of the United States.  Seeking to prevent such losses in the Bay Area, the 
 Hungry Owl Project educates the public about the natural pest control 
 services Barn Owls provide. Barn Owls are voracious consumers of rodents, 
 and without the services of beneficial predators, such as owls and hawks, 
 rodent populations would soon be out of control. The Hungry Owl Project 
 provides educational programs at schools, and with Marin Art & Garden 
 Center conducts Beneficial Predators field trip programs for local schools. 
 Partnering with school woodshop classes and scouts, the Hungry Owl Project 
 builds nest boxes. Video cameras have been installed by the Hungry Owl 
 Project in nest boxes at several schools in Marin for viewing by students 
 on campus, and by the public via a web cam at www.hungryowl.org. The Hungry 
 Owl Project also educates the public on the harmful effects of rodenticides 
 (rat poison) on beneficial predators, assists WildCare in the 
 rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey, reunites fallen 
 raptor chicks with their natural families, and consults with farm, ranch, 
 orchard, golf course, homeowners associations, vineyard owners and managers 
 on the role of beneficial predators in Integrated Pest Management. Since 
 2002, the Hungry Owl Project has sold over 400 nesting boxes in Marin, 
 Sonoma, and Napa counties.  The program has even expanded to other parts of 
 the state and country.\n \n\n
