John Pastore shared this photo he took on Thursday at the CF.

"Just one, who appeared to act as though he thinks himself to be a mallard (judging by the company he was keeping)," sez John.

(Thanks, John!)

A Very Cool Find @ My Screech Talk

November 17, 2023

IMG_0907 (1)
The other night, I gave a talk on my screech owl book for Hasbrouck Heights' Free Public Library and the town's Garden Club.

The turnout was great, the audience was engaging, and I enjoyed myself immensely. There was even an owl in the room -- but not the type you'd expect.

The owl was a "Meeting Owl 3" from Owl Labs.

The device has a center-of-room camera/microphone that zooms in on speakers’ faces for a face-to-face view.

As you can see, it even looks like an owl.

How cool is that?

CELERY FARM COVER Presence Nature (1)
To raise money for two worthy charities, ace nature photographer Jerry Barrack is donating a few dozen awesome nature photos (some mounted) to raise money for The Raptor Trust and Animal Friends of Franklin Lakes.
 
The prints include some photos from our Celery Farm book and the new Screech Owl Companion.
 
I will sell them at my book talks for the Oakland Public Library tonight and (I hope) the Hasbrouck Heights Free Public Library and the Hasbrouck Heights Garden Club on Wednesday night.
 
Thank you, Jerry!
