The Life and Times of Alice the Great Horned Owl
Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 11:00 AM
by Karla Bloem
Alice is the reason the International Festival of Owls and International Owl Center exist. She is also the owl that got Great Horned Owls protected under state law and is the bird behind the first vocal study on her species. She retired in 2018 at 21 years of age. She is turning 22 at this Festival, and you will be able to peek in on her at home, likely sitting on her nest, thanks to a live video feed.

Film: The Secret Life of Owls

This film produced by Make Believe Media aired on the CBC in Canada on "The Nature of Things" in 2017. It includes the Owl Center's own Alice the Great Horned Owl and Karla Bloem. The USA premier was at the International Festival of Owls two years ago. It has not yet aired in the United States, so we are delighted to be able to show it again at our Festival. Update: Neil Rettig, Laura Johnson and Robbie the Great Horned Owl will be unable to attend.
