Enjoy an entertaining and educational presentation at the Museum of Coastal Carolina. The Sandbar Lecture Series brings local experts to speak about topics ranging from our coastal environment to Outer Banks history. Join David Glenn from the SkyWatch Bird Rescue for a presentation on owls that live in our region. Often heard, but rarely seen – owls have a vibrant population in Southeastern North Carolina. Dave will introduce you to a few with his ambassador friends from the rescue. To celebrate ‘Pi Day’ we will have some fun observing the natural appearances of circles in the owls’ world.
