Owl Pellet Dissection
Owls swallow their prey whole. Parts of their prey, such as bones, feathers and fur, are bound up during digestion into a tight pellet, which the owl regurgitates. Drop in for this exploratory workshop with naturalist Gabriel Willow and discover the origins of the owl’s diet.
Ages six and older welcome with an adult. Free with admission; as supplies last.
Registration is not required. Drop in anytime during the event. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call 718.549.3200 x251.
Wave Hill House is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with a power-assist door. The restroom on the ground level is all-gender and ADA-compliant. Additional ADA-compliant restrooms are available on the lower level, which can be accessed by elevator.
