Come join us before it's too late. Owl Prowls consist of a short classroom presentation during which you will meet some of our resident owls and get a really close look.
You'll learn some of the amazing facts about these denizens of the night--such as, which owl can dispose of 25,000 mice in a single year? Which owls might I encounter in a Missouri woods? Which owl is concerned about your cooking habits?
During the classroom portion of this program you will learn how to hoot, and then we will proceed outside, along with a veteran naturalist, to walk the sanctuary's trails in the dark and listen for the local wild owls who call this area home. Every so often we will stop to listen, and then hoot, to see if we can get one of the area's lovesick owls to hoot back.
Owl Prowls will be over for this mating season at the end of February, so don't miss this opportunity.
