Learn all about owls during the Yampa Valley Crane Festival!

While HawkQuest has a live owl on the Library Lawn during the Yampa Valley Crane Festival, a few lucky kids will have a chance to find out what owls eat and how they process their food. Join us for an owl pellet dissection workshop with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

This workshop is FREE but advance registration with the Crane Festival is required. Workshop is limited to 12 children (minimum age 4 years) and accompanying adults. Sign up here.

About the Yampa Valley Crane Festival
The Greater Sandhill Crane is an iconic species of the Yampa Valley. Returning in the spring, cranes nest and raise their young in wetland areas throughout the valley. In late summer and early fall, hundreds of cranes from the Rocky Mountain flock join the local birds to rest and feed before continuing their journey south. The festival includes daily crane viewings, expert speakers, films, art exhibits, workshops, family activities and more. All community activities and events are free unless otherwise indicated in the program, and the Bud Werner Memorial Library will be home base for many of these talks, films and events.
