2026 Conservancy Days - Owls of Pheasant Branch Conservancy

Pheasant Branch Conservancy provides important habitat for many bird species, including several species of owls. Late fall and early winter is the perfect time to familiarize yourself with these enigmatic raptors as they become more active during their winter courtship season. Join speaker Caitlyn Schuchhardt to discover what makes an owl an owl, how to identify different species of owl you’re likely to find at Pheasant Branch, practical advice for finding owls, and guidance for ethically observing them!
Caitlyn Schuchhardt (she/her) is a volunteer leader of the Feminist Bird Club - Madison Chapter. She is also a former Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance staff member and author of their Entryway to Birding blog series for beginning birders. When she’s not working her day job, you can find her leading bird outings, teaching bird identification classes, or enjoying the birds at her favorite local conservation parks. She loves welcoming new audiences into the joyful and rewarding hobby of birding.
