    Eyes on Owls
The Harwich Conservation Trust annually hosts Eyes on Owls led by naturalist educators Marcia and Mark Wilson who tour the Northeast, offering audiences up-close looks at these secretive raptors.
Mark, a retired professional photographer with The Boston Globe, leads an introductory slide show. The duo then walk around with the owls tethered to their gloved hands to highlight the raptors habits and biology. Volunteers from the audience even get a chance to hoot alongside the owls.
The Wilsons bring owls that are found locally including great-horned owl with golden irises, red morph screech owl and the soda can-sized saw-whet owl. They also showcase owls from around the globe, including the Eurasian eagle owl (largest owl species in the world) and the South American spectacled owl. The barred owl with its dark charcoal-colored eyes and the striking snowy owl will also make an appearance.
Seating is first come, first served.
