We were stoked to see two of our Pasadena Audubon chapter leaders covered in today's LA Times. The article, "At night in the San Gabriels, venturing into the world of the owls"  covers the reporter Gale Holland's night owling with Lance Benner and Kathi Ellsworth:

One of the marvels of living in Los Angeles is how easy it is to bridge the urban-wilderness divide. Los Angeles County, with its cactus-to-clouds habitat shifts, has an enormous variety of birds. Within an hour of the well-kept homes of La Cañada Flintridge, Benner, who leads owling trips for the Pasadena Audubon Society, had located eight owl species in June alone. All I had to do was follow his trail for a world-class look at the elusive species.

We can't get enough of owls at Audubon California. There is of course our Starr Ranch Barn Owl Cam and tonight we are hosting a night of owls at Audubon Center at Debs Park. The night will start with a talk and the chance to see live owls and will end with a screening of Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. The event is free and open to everyone.
