Moonlit Owl Prowl

Come take a walk with us under the glow of the moon to search for some of the park's most elusive night-time predators: owls! As we walk along under the quiet cover of darkness, we'll listen for their haunting voices as they cry out across the landscape. You'll practice identifying their unique calls and learn how their fascinating adaptations have made them a formidable night-time predator. The walk will be up to one mile on a forested, mostly flat trail with frequent stops to listen for owl calls.

While the moon will provide some light, you may bring a flashlight or headlamp with a red light setting or red cellophane covering to reduce disruption of nocturnal wildlife and preserve our own night vision. Meet at Shelter 3 near Canoe Launch A. 'WHO' knows who we'll find?

Register here to let us know you're coming. We will contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
