More than 100 local wine and nature lovers gathered at Aver Family Vineyards, 2900 Soma Way, Gilroy, to witness the release of a rehabilitated barn owl Sunday, Sept. 2.

The release, coordinated by the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center (WERC), took place at dusk, and owl watchers were invited to bring along a picnic and take part in libations sold by Aver Family Vineyards. WERC representatives were on site with staff owls Barnadette to discuss WERC’s wildlife education and rehabilitation programs.
