BREWSTER – The Cape Cod Bird Club will meet on March 13 at 7 p.m., at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on Route 6A in Brewster.
Meetings are free and open to all and the program for March features Denver Holt talking about Adaptations in Owls.
With their intense, almost human stares, fascinating adaptations for nocturnal hunting, and secretive nature, owls are a favorite group for most birders.
They occur on all continents except Antarctica and have populated the most remote groups of islands in the world, including Hawaii.
Today the club recognizes between about 250 species worldwide.
International owl expert Denver Holt is founder and president of the Owl Research Institute and the Ninepipes Wildlife Research Center, a nonprofit organization located in Charlo, Montana.
Holt’s research was the cover story for National Geographic Magazine, and his work has been the subject of many television bites on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Disney, as well as featured on Audubon’s Up-Close Series, PBS’s Bird Watch, and David Attenborough’s Life of Birds, among others.

And join the club for a free bird walk at Scusset Beach State Park on March 4 at 7 a.m.
Participants are asked to meet in the first parking lot, next to the fish pier.
Then they’ll spend the morning checking the thickets and woodland trail, canal and beach area for passerines and waterfowl.
