Short-eared Owl Prowl

Short-eared Owls are on the move this winter and Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the South Shore's finest spots to watch them hunt.

This late-afternoon outing puts you on an open hilltop at one of the region's most celebrated raptor habitats, timed to catch these low-flying hunters as they swoop across the fields in the fading light.

A naturalist covers the biology, behavior, and conservation story of these remarkable birds, and explores why so many people credit an owl sighting as the moment they fell in love with birding.

No prior birding experience required. Come dressed for the cold and ready to watch something memorable.
