Owl Prowl

Towering pines, open grasslands, and restored wetlands make Tidmarsh one of the finest owl habitats, and a winter evening walk is one of the most memorable ways to experience it.

Head out onto the sanctuary's trails after dark with a naturalist guide, tuning your ears to the sounds of the night in search of the resident owls that call the sanctuary home. Learn how the ongoing restoration work at Tidmarsh has created more robust habitat for these nocturnal hunters, what the presence of owls tells us about the health of the landscape, and how to identify different species by their calls.

Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the landscape and expert guide give you some of the best odds on the South Shore.
