Who’s That Hooting-hooing in the Night? with Stephen Lyn Bales
Owls are so mysterious. Being nocturnal, they are active when we are asleep and hidden during our daylight hours. We often hear them hooting in the darkness but do not know who or where they are. Learn all about the owls of East Tennessee and perhaps what’s hooting in your woods!
Join naturalist, Stephen Lyn Bales, who has worked with owls for 24 years, and UT Arboretum education coordinator Michelle Campanis for the November First Thursday Nature Supper Club “Who’s That Hooting?“ and it will be about our local owls.
Due to some scheduling issues this addition will be pre-recorded. The program is free and closed captions are available.. Please register below to receive the recording. For any registration issues, please contact Michelle Campanis .

The Mammals of Tennessee with Don Hazel
Everyone has a favorite mammal, and we have many in Tennessee. Join the University of Tennessee Arboretum Society’s virtual program with naturalist Don Hazel as we learn about the amazing mammals in our state, from chipmunks, otters, and armadillos to bears, bobcats, and wild boars! What is your favorite mammal?
“Mammals are particularly interesting to us, maybe because we humans are mammals,” said Hazel. “From this session, you will get a great overview of our Tennessee mammals.” There will also have a question-and-answer period at the end of the program.
Don and his wife Nancy are retired and have lived in Fairfield Glade, near Crossville Tennessee for 16 years. Having a life-long interest in nature, Don writes a twice-monthly nature column for the Glade Sun and Crossville Chronicle newspapers.
