59. Phantom Owl | A Conversation with Wildlife Ecologist Dr. Katherine Gura
Description
In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Dr. Katherine Gura, a research scientist at Colorado State University and a leader in raptor research and conservation, with a specific focus on Great Grey Owls. Katherine also has a background in wildlife ecology and is a long standing team member at the Teton Raptor Center working with raptors to better understand their needs in a time of changing climates and habitat loss.
If you’ve ever heard the call of an owl, in the dark, under a full moon and gotten full body chills, you will know why we loved this conversation so much. And if you haven’t, take a listen because we offer you that experience today.
Katherine takes us into the habitat of the Great Grey Owl and sits with us as she explains why they are so exceptional, wise, and captivating. And we left this space understanding why this incredible raptor is a wildlife treasure, and what they offer not only their ecosystem, but what they mean to us and why we should value them and fight for their conservation.
Thanks so much to Katherine for taking us into the world of the magical Great Grey Owl.
An owl with a call that will echo through your soul.
Lots of Love.
