Night Adventures - Owl Prowls:

Owl Prowls - January 11, 25, & February 8, 2008, 7 - 9 p.m.

Enjoy the Arboretum's owls on a guided walk through the forest looking for these nocturnal birds of prey.  We will visit several habitats looking for Eastern Screech Owl, Barred Owl, and Great Horned Owl. Groups will gather and leave the building at 7:00 pm and be on the grounds for approximately two hours.  Attendees should wear sturdy shoes, bring a flashlight and some water.  There will be some natural history interpretation of these birds; not only will our conversation take flight but so will these mysterious creatures of the night. 

Dates:
Friday, January 11, 2008 - Registration closed.
Friday, January 25, 2008 - Registration closed - event full.
Friday, February 8, 2008 - Registration closed - event is full.
