The director of the Global Owl Project will discuss “Owls in Myth and Culture” in Kennewick Tuesday.

Participants in David H. Johnson’s project have interviewed 6,000 people in 30 countries because what people believe about owls influences how the birds are protected.

He will speak at the Mid-Columbia Library, 1620 S. Union St., at a 7 p.m. meeting of the Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society. Time for socializing is planned before his talk.
