Owls of the Carolinas
Tuesday, March 11 @ 2pm

Pam Torlina, Community Engagement Director with Conserving Carolina, will present on the several species of owls found in the Carolinas and highlight the special characteristics that make them successful predators of the night. Participants will get an up-close look at feathers, talons, and owl specimens in order to gain a better understanding of their unique characteristics. Register for the program here.

The Saluda Library Speaker Series is held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 44 West Main Street, Saluda, NC.
