Whoooo’s that calling at night?

 

Hoots, toots, whinnies and even some whistles are made by our local owl species. On this owl prowl, we will listen for and try to see as many different owls as possible. If we are lucky, we may get to hear and see Great Horned, Eastern Screech, Barred and Barn Owls. Of course, we will hope for calm and clear weather as windy conditions can make finding owls very difficult! 

 

Bring your flashlight or headlamp (something with a red light option is best), your ‘inside voices,’ and get ready for some owling! Ventures Birding guide Clifton Avery will lead this prowl on the FENCE property. 

Meet at the FENCE center on Friday, October 25th at 6:30 p.m.

 

This event is made possible by the Polk County Community Foundation. This event is free and open to the public. FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon.
