Fall has arrived at World Bird Sanctuary, which means the
start of Owl Prowl season. Owl
Prowls run from November through March on select Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays.

What is an Owl Prowl you ask? The Owl Prowls start at 7 pm in our Nature Center with about
a 1 hour program all about some of the owls of
the world. Some of them will even
fly right over your head. After
that we take you for a short walk on our property to try to call in a wild
owl. Also during November and
early December we will take you to our bird-banding field station to learn
about a study we are doing on Saw-whet Owls.
Do you love owls?
Owls Prowls are a great way to learn more about these fascinating
creatures of the night. We also
have a small gift shop where you can find lots of Owl merchandise for kids of
all ages.

Do you know what the largest species of Owl is in the
world? Even better, you’ll have that bird fly right over the tops of your
heads. If you’ve guessed the
Eurasian Eagle Owl, you’re right.

Learn which owl is known as the ghost owl and has the best
hearing of any bird in the world.
Have a scout group that you are looking to do something
different with? Have them join an
Owl Prowl. It’s not only fun, but
it’s educational.
Are you an adult that would love to join us, but would
prefer an “adults only” night out?
We have special “adults only” nights for the “kid at heart”. Have a small group that just wants to
do something different? Come out
and join us for a fun evening with owls.
