Pamela Dimeler will present a program sharing her observations of a family of barred owls in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Barred owls are known for their call that sounds like the phrase: “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” In this multimedia program, you will learn all about this secretive, unique, and very inquisitive owl. Pam will share photographs and videos of the Barred Owl’s behaviors in the wild, including her close encounter with two juvenile barred owlets. Pam will also discuss the dangers they face in the wild, such as the destruction of their habitat and the impact from the use of rodenticides.
