Thursday, January 22 at 7:30 pm at REI Owls of Three of El Salvador's
Protected Natural Areas By Jane West US Fish and Wildlife Service Do you love owls? Are you interested in Central America? Jane will talk about Mottled Owls, Spectacled Owls, Pacific Screech-owls, Ferruginous Pygmy-owls and Whiskered Screech-owls that she studied in El Salvador. Jane West will be presenting information about a project she has been working on titled "Occurrence and Population Estimates of Owls in Three of El Salvador's Protected Natural Areas." As a volunteer, she works with El Salvador's Ministry of the Environment in three of the country's protected areas (cloud forest, mid-elevation forest and floodplain forest). Thirteen species of owls have been recorded in the literature for the country of El Salvador, with five of the species being either endangered or threatened. Jane has spent a month each year, over a period of seven years working on the project and has heard eight species of owls and recorded vocalizations of four species. When: Please join us at 7:00 pm at the Bloomington REI store to socialize over coffee and cookies from 7:00 to 7:30 pm. A brief business meeting and the featured speaker begin at 7:30 pm. The meeting will conclude before 9:00 pm. Where: REI is located at 750 W. 79th Street at Lyndale and I-494, south of the highway. Note that the Lyndale bridge and exits are closed. Exit I-494 at Nicollet Avenue and head south to American Blvd. and turn right. Access REI from American Blvd on the right after Lyndale Avenue.
