Adults 21+ are welcome to join us on the Back Porch for a beverage and a discussion of Owls of the Eastern Ice: A Quest To Find and Save The World's Largest Owl by Jonathan C. Slaught. When he was just a fledgling birdwatcher, Slaght had a chance encounter with one of the most mysterious birds on Earth. Bigger than any owl he knew, it looked like a small bear with decorative feathers. He snapped a quick photo and shared it with experts. Soon he was on a five-year journey, searching for this enormous, enigmatic creature in the lush, remote forests of eastern Russia. Registration required.
