WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE A HOOT?

OWL PROWLS ARE HERE AGAIN!!

Yes folks, it's that time of year when romance is in the air--at least if you're an owl!

We at the World Bird Sanctuary take advantage of our local owls' amorous yearnings to teach our guests some little known facts about these creatures of the night, and to have some fun while learning.

We'll start out the Owl Prowl experience in our Nature Center classroom where a Naturalist will introduce guests to some of these fascinating creatures. We will discuss many of the myths and legends associated with them, as well as some of the fascinating behaviors that make these creatures unique.



Following this "learning" session, we will venture out after dark along the paths on the Sanctuary grounds to try to "hoot up" some of the lovesick owls that inhabit the area.

Owl Prowls take place from November through February on the following dates:

November - 11/1, 11/7, 11/8, 11/15, 11/21, 11/22 & 11/29
