SUMMARY:Owl Howl: Section D
DESCRIPTION:Many people have heard an owl\, but few have ever seen one. Mt. Cuba’s varied landscapes and topography provide the ideal habitats for three of Delaware’s native owl species – the barred\, great horned\, and Eastern screech – and winter is the best time to spot them roosting in our trees. Owls are nocturnal so join us as we search for them just after dusk. Following a brief introductory lecture\, we’ll head into the garden and listen for their unique calls. Dress for the weather.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM on Wednesday\, February 7\, 2025 (Rain Date: Wednesday\, February 21).\nAbout the Instructors:\nJoe Sebastiani is the Director of Adult Engagement for the Delaware Nature Society. He is passionate about birds and wildlife\, founded the Ashland Hawk Watch\, and edits Delaware eBird\, an online checklist program\, for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.\nIan Stewart\, PhD\, was raised in Newcastle\, England and received a doctorate in ornithology from the University of Leicester. He has conducted research on tree swallows and bluebirds and how local land management activities are affecting bird numbers and diversity throughout the year. Ian works for the Delaware Nature Society where he is studying the effects of non-native plants on birds.

SUMMARY:Weathering the Winter
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 1 from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm\nWeathering the Winter \nWinters were harsh in the 18th century\, but even in cold and snowy weather there was still plenty of work to do around the farm.

Watch as meat and other provisions are cured and preserved in the Smokehouse\, check out a cooking demonstration in the Summer Kitchen\, and more! \nAll ages; Free.
