The Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited store in Gerber Village will be hosting Carlton Burke with Carolina Mountain Naturalists for a special program on owls Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 3:00pm. This free program will feature a special appearance by some of Carlton’s amazing owl ambassadors.
Owls are very mysterious birds of prey seldom seen due to their elusive and nocturnal lifestyle. In this special program, Carlton will share information about the fascinating lives of these unusual birds and their unique adaptations for life in the nighttime world.
