Serious stuff too.For the more serious owl aficionados, we have internationally known keynote speakers, we present the annual World Owl Hall of Fame awards, and we hold a raffle to benefit the Global Owl Project. We also host special outdoor owl photography sessions and classes for more serious photographers.
