The Owl Eye Spring 2016

This project is a long-term,
worldwide project to advance
foundational aspects of science
and conservation for the world’s
owls.
Work under this project is focused
on seven tasks:
1. Develop scientifically-robust survey &
monitoring techniques for the world's owls;
2. Analyze the molecular systematics and phylogeny
of owls using basically mtDNA but also ncDNA;
3. Acquire high-quality recordings of owl
vocalizations, to assist in species identification &
surveys;
4. Compile original descriptions & photographs of
extant & fossil owls, & an e-library of literature on
the species;

Also, Join W.E.R.C. on the 4th of July as we roll
through Downtown Morgan Hill in the Annual
Freedom Fest Parade! You and a guest will sit with
Volunteers and our Educational Ambassadors as
we celebrate the quintessential American Holiday.
This unique opportunity will give you a bird's eye
view of the thousands of spectators who come to
town for the festivities. You may think the parade
is main attraction, but wait until you see the
crowd!
