Wildlife experts Jenny Papka of Native Bird Connection and Jay Sheets of Hawk Talk will bring several species of live owls and hawks to the Pleasanton Library at 1:30 p.m Saturday, Jan. 26.

No registration is required for this hour-long program, which is for children kindergarten age and older. Free tickets will be distributed in the Children's area 30 minutes prior to each show. Doors will be closed to late arrivals once the program begins.
