Owls are among the most sought-after birds, but with their nocturnal habits, are also among the most difficult to find. Winter is when these birds start to breed and nest, so it's a great time to head out to look and listen for them. Join us as we search the woods of southeastern CT for these denizens of the night!

The walk will be approximately .5 miles on mostly level dirt terrain. The walk will take place after dark, and exposure to cold and wind possible depending on the weather. No restrooms on site.

Due to the popularity of our owl prowls, we ask that you register for no more than 2 prowls.
