Take a stroll through the park and search for owls

Whoo goes there? It’s an Owl Prowl at Blue Heron Nature Center on March 8 and March 22.

Charge up your batteries and get ready to explore the dark corners of the park with Cliff Hagen and see how many of the night flyers you can find and identify. Barn owls, snowy owls, screech owls, and great horned owls search for food through the trees. Recommended for older children.
