OWLS - Iowa’s Spectacular Spring Songbird Migration

Event Summary

OWLS (Older, Wiser, Livelier, Seniors) Looking for an excuse to get out of the house, make some new friends, enjoy a good meal, and learn about the exciting world of nature? Then join us! These programs are held the first Tuesday of each month. The nature program will start at 11:00 a.m. at the Jester Park Lodge. An optional luncheon follows the program at noon in which pre-registration is required. The cost of the catered lunch is $9.00. Lunch registration is due the Friday before the program. Lunch will include chicken Alfredo, stemmed broccoli, salad, bread and dessert.

Iowa’s position in the center of the country makes it a spectacular location to observe and enjoy the spring songbird migration. Writer and photographer Ty Smedes will share his photos and knowledge of this magnificent annual event. Learn about those tiny birds that most of us never notice or know anything about. We’ll see and learn about the vireos, tanagers, wrens, flycatchers, and especially the colorful warbler family. You’ll learn when and where to look for these long-distance migrators, and more!
