Programs

January and February are active months for barred owls, as this is when they begin searching for a partner. During this time, owls use sounds and body language to impress one another in hopes of finding a mate. Those interested in learning more about owls are invited to join us for an Owl Prowl in February.

This year’s Owl Prowl will take place from 7:00–8:30 PM and will be led by a naturalist. The program will begin with a short presentation about owls, followed by calling for owls using recorded calls. Participants will then head out on an up to 2-mile round-trip night hike. If all goes as planned, owl prowlers may hear owls calling back and might even get the chance to see one swoop silently down for a closer look.

This program is open to anyone; however, because silent listening is required, children must be accompanied by an adult. Please dress for the weather and be prepared for a 2-mile hike in the dark. There is no fee to attend, but registration is required as space is limited. Registration can be completed through RecDesk. Location details will be sent to registered participants via email or phone call two days prior to the event.
