An Evening with the Owls of Orange County

Join us for a captivating encounter with some of Orange County’s native owls—nature’s most efficient and eco-friendly pest control. These nocturnal hunters are equipped with extraordinary adaptations that make them masters of stealth, precision, and survival. Discover how their keen senses, silent flight, and razor-sharp talons help maintain balance in our local ecosystems. This special event is hosted by the Orange County Bird of Prey Center, a nonprofit organization that has been rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured raptors—including owls, hawks, falcons, and eagles—for over 30 years. Their work not only saves lives but also strengthens our connection to the wild world around us. You’ll even get to meet an ambassador bird or two up close and personal—these non-releasable native raptors deliver powerful environmental education programs that inspire awe and stewardship across the county. Whether you're a nature lover, bird enthusiast, or simply curious, this is an unforgettable opportunity to witness the magic of these majestic creatures and support local wildlife conservation.
