Nature Photo Club hosts owl program

Bird watching is a great way to introduce someone to the outdoors. If you’re lucky, you may be able to snap a photo of a Barred owl or Trumpeter swans.

The Wilderness Center Nature Photo Club will play host to a free program on The Wonderful World of Ohio Owls at the club meeting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19.

The program will be presented by Judy Semroc, an area field biologist and naturalist who has spent more than 20 years working in the Natural Areas Division as a Conservation Specialist with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

Semroc is the founder of Chrysalis in Time, the first Ohio chapter of the North American Butterfly Association and serves on the board of the Ohio Bluebird & Ohio Ornithological Society. As a former petroleum geologist and middle school science teacher, she loves to learn about and share her passion for the natural world.
