Communication in the Dark | Kate Davis | TEDxUMontana

When you hear an owl, what do you feel? Fright? Scary movies? Birds such as owls have a rich and nuanced language that extends across species even affecting humans. Kate and her colleague, Jillian the Great Horned Owl take the stage and teach us how to go out in the dark and hoot up owls.
Kate Davis has been providing educational programs to schools and the public with live birds of prey from Raptors of the Rockies, for 27 years. She keeps 18 non-releasable and falconry birds, from a Pygmy-Owl to Golden Eagles at the facility on the Bitterroot River. She has written and illustrated five books on raptors, including winner of the National Outdoor Book Award in 2011. Her latest book is called American Kestrel: Pint-Sized Predator.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I have been a fan of your organization and your work since learning about it a few years ago, after reading one of your books. This TED talk is inspiring- you are an excellent communicator, and your love of raptors and nature shines though brightly. I hope that one day, I can be as excellent an educator as you and Jillian! Keep sharing your passion!
