Let's see who flies during these cold nights. Join Master Naturalist Randy Smith to learn about owls and their remarkable adaptations that make them effective night time predators. We hope to encourage our largest species of owl to call back at us on this nightly prowl. This is the time of year that the Great Horned Owl is most alert and vocal. So join us as we learn more about this apex predator.
