Owl Prowl with Chuck Rosenburg at Kenneglenn Nature Preserve
Join Chuck Rosenburg for an evening owl prowl. After a brief introductory presentation, participants will venture into the dark to listen and watch for owls. Chuck will imitate owl calls in an effort to lure in these secretive nocturnal raptors. Mr. Rosenburg gained a keen interest in the outdoors while growing up near the Klydel Wetlands in North Tonawanda. He obtained a bachelor's degree in wildlife management from Purdue University and a master's degree in wildlife biology from the College of William and Mary. His master's thesis focused on barn owl habitat use, as determined using radio-telemetry. He worked as a private environmental consultant for 15 years before accepting a wetlands ecologist position with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 2006.
