Owl Prowls Are Here!


Looking for a fun and unusual outdoor activity before the weather turns nasty?  We have just what you're looking for -- Owl Prowls!
 Jake, one of the World Bird Sanctuary's Great Horned Owls
Beginning this week the World Bird Sanctuary will be introducing guests to those amazing birds that prowl at night.  

First you will gather in our Nature Center to meet some of our resident owls and learn some of the amazing adaptations that make them such efficient mousetraps.  Then you will learn to speak their language--sometimes called "the hoot".  To top off the evening one of our naturalists will lead you on an easy night hike through our grounds where you will be given the opportunity to try your hand at "hooting" to see if you can get a response from one of the wild owls that call the surrounding area home.
