CLINTON — Everyone loves owls — but how often do you get to see one up close?

Perhaps you’ve glimpsed the shadowy form of a great-horned owl in your headlights on a back road, scanned a frozen saltmarsh hoping to spot a snowy owl, or noticed a mob of crows circling a white pine — have they found an owl?

Join naturalists and educators Marcia and Mark Wilson for “Owls of the World — Who’s Watching You?” from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, at the Bigelow Free Public Library, 54 Walnut St.

This program aims to introduce attendees to owls of New England and beyond. Learn field marks, signs and naturalist skills to help you find wild owls without disturbing them.

You’ll also have the opportunity to meet some live owls such as the Eurasian eagle owl, with its five-foot wingspan, an eastern screech owl, a barred owl, a barn owl, a great-horned owl and spectacled owl.

Participants will enjoy a hooting lesson, learn how to attract and protect owls near home, and discover fascinating details about owl pellets and whitewash.

Marcia and Mark Wilson founded Eyes On Owls in 1994 as an educational enterprise that brings wild owls to the community.

“The owls we care for are permanently disabled — that is they cannot survive on their own in the wild,” said Marcia Wilson. “We give each owl a safe, clean, low stress home.”

Whether you’re a budding naturalist or just curious, this program offers a rare opportunity to experience these majestic birds up close.

This program is most appropriate for children ages 5 and older.
