- WHO: Space Coast Audubon Society (SCAS)
- WHERE: Rockledge Presbyterian Church, 921 Rockledge Dr, Rockledge, FL.
- WHEN: January 17, 2014 at 7:30 pm
Our meeting this month will be unique as we will be featuring dual presenters that will include live owls. Susan Boorse & Sam Fried will be presenting "Owls of North America". Owls are some of the most mysterious and little seen family of birds in North America. The owls hold our fascination, as they have for thousands of years. Learn about all 19 species that inhabit our continent and listen to their eerie calls.
Susan Boorse is an Environmental Program Supervisor for Brevard County Parks & Recreation at Rotary Park Nature Center on Merritt Island. Her love of owls started as a teenager and has blossomed into the majority of her programming. Susan obtained State and Federal Permits that enabled her to have and use live owls in her presentations. Dora an Eastern Screech-Owl and Boots a Great Horned Owl are both rehab birds and are not releasable back into the wild. They are on display, most times, at Rotary Park Nature Center whenever Susan is there.
Sam Fried has just recently moved to the Space Coast and will soon become involved with Space Coast Audubon. Sam has had numerous photographs and featured articles published in a variety of birding and golf magazines as well as the Insight Guide on Birding in North America for the Discovery Channel. He is the founder of Flights of Fancy Adventures offering small group, low cost, trips throughout the Americas and now Africa. He is past president of Hartford Audubon Society.
