Owls Topic of February Wildlife Group

Local rancher and birding enthusiast Stacey Scott will be the guest speaker at the February edition of the Werner Wildlife Museum’s Wildlife Study Group on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. Scott will present “Silent Wings and Night Vision: Wyoming’s Owls.”

During his presentation, Scott will discuss the natural history of owls, demonstrate the various calls they make, and tell owl stories gathered during his six decades in the field. His first birding trip occurred “before I could walk and ignited a passion for birds that has never dimmed,” he said. A lifelong member of the National Audubon Society, Scott currently serves as treasurer for the Murie Audubon Society chapter in Casper and is also president of the Werner Wildlife Museum advisory board.

The Wildlife Study Group is free and open to the public and meets monthly in the Africa-Artic Room at Casper College’s Werner Wildlife Museum, located off the Casper College campus at 405 E. 15th Street.
