Join this virtual pre-recorded program of The World of Owls with Jim Parks and Julie Anne Collier from Wingmasters, which shows how owls use their specialized powers of sight, camouflage, hearing and flight to survive and thrive. A wealth of fact and folklore about these masters of the night explains the natural and the unnatural history of owls.

The owls featured in this program are all native to New England and include the Eastern Screech Owl, Barred Owl, Great Horned Owl and the Barn Owl. Also included is a slideshow of photo images taken by Jim Parks over the last 30 years.

WINGMASTERS is a partnership of two people dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American birds of prey. Julie Anne Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor rehabilitators based in Massachusetts. Together they care for injured birds of prey at their center in Leverett, Massachusetts. Most of the birds they rehabilitate can ultimately be released back into the wild, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. Julie and Jim are further licensed to provide a home for these nonreleasable raptors, and to use them for educational programs. Since 1994 WINGMASTERS has presented over 10,000 programs at schools, libraries and museums throughout New England.
