Family Night Hike and Owl Prowl

Description

As dusk settles over the sanctuary, a whole new cast of characters takes the stage. Start your evening inside the Nature Center with a close-up look at real owl wings, skulls, talons, and feathers, learning about the remarkable adaptations that make these birds master hunters in the dark.

Then, head outside for a gentle evening hike through fields and forests, listening and watching for signs of resident Eastern Screech-owls, Barred Owls, and Great Horned Owls. You'll discover how they find prey, communicate under cover of darkness, and play their essential role in the nighttime ecosystem.
