MONTPELIER, VT - While some might spend October 30 carving a pumpkin or stocking up on candy, those who truly want to be ready for Halloween will be seeing live owls at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier (on Main Street) from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.

The North Branch Nature Center brings you “Creatures of the Night,” a program all about these mysterious hunters of the night.  In conjunction with Outreach for Earth Stewardship, a couple of live birds will be on-hand for participants to see and learn about.

• How do owls see in the dark?
• Can they really turn their heads all the way around?
• What do their spooky hoots mean?

All questions will be answered in this up-close and personal experience.

This program is just $5 for adults, $3 for children, and benefits the Nature Center.  For more information please call 229-6206 or visit online at www.NorthBranchNatureCenter.org.
