Owl Prowls

Photo by Tomas Koeck.

January & February
 All walks are from 5:30 – 7:30 pm

When the sun goes down and we’re settling in for the evening, owls are just starting their day. Winter is one of the best times of year to look for these fascinating birds, as many are already nesting, looking for mates, and establishing territory. We’ll look and listen to these incredible birds and learn what makes them unique in the bird world. Bring a headlamp or flashlight and binoculars, and bundle up! Walks will be after sunset, exposure to cold and wind is possible depending on the weather. Appropriate for ages 10 and up. $15 for members/$20 for non-members. Connecticut College Arboretum Walks are free for CT Audubon & Arboretum members/$10 for non-members.
*Please kindly register for no more than 2 prowls*
