The Breeding Behavior of our Local Owls—Getting to Know our Nocturnal Neighbors

March 17, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

With Joe Mueller

The best time of year to get to know owls is during the breeding season. This is the time when they communicate with each other and allow us a glimpse into their lives.  Join Joe for a guided journey into understanding the reproductive behavior of our local owls.  We’ll explore topics from territoriality and pair formation to courtship and nesting.  

As a Professor of Biology for 30 years Joe has been teaching a rich diversity of courses ranging from ornithology to marine invertebrate zoology as well as leading field courses from Alaskan tundra to Costa Rican Tropical Rain Forests. His teaching style has developed from a view of life focused on systems thinking and how interrelationships make up the essential nature of life.  He developed and coordinates the Natural History Program at College of Marin and is the 2008 recipient of the Terwilliger Environmental Education Award.
