Did you know owls get "hairballs?" About once a day, an owl spits up a ball of hair and bones--leftovers from their most recent meals--called an owl pellet. By dissecting these pellets, we can piece together what these stealthy night time predators have munched on most recently. Rangers will also share some cool creature facts about these mysterious birds.

Parks are for everyone. To ensure an enjoyable time, please alert park staff to any special accommodations you or your group may need.
