Owl Prowls are almost
here!
Owl Prowls, one of the
World Bird Sanctuary’s most popular audience participation programs, will be
starting soon. We will begin
taking reservations Sept. 1st for this hugely popular event.

Guests will join one of
our Naturalists for this evening program.
It starts with a 45 minute indoor presentation featuring live flying
owls, followed by an easy night hike around our grounds as we try to find the
wild Barred Owls and Great Horned Owls that are busy setting up territories and
finding mates for the winter owl breeding season!
Guests will be invited to
try their hand at calling to the owls (otherwise known as the “hoot”). Click Here to hear the female Great Horned Owl's call. Click Here to hear the male Great Horned Owl's call.
