The Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory’s month-long program, “Starry Nights with Saw-whets,” is fast approaching! PEPtBO is thrilled to announce an evening with Jennifer Ackerman — bestselling author of *The Genius of Birds* and acclaimed science writer. Join her and PEPtBO virtually on Wednesday October 18th at 7:00 PM for a webinar focussing on her new book, *What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds* (Penguin, June 2023). The book, a deep dive into the world of owls and the people who study them, has received rave reviews in a variety of media including *The Globe and Mail,* *The New York Times*, and *The Guardian*.
