Full Moon Owl Prowl
Where
Powhatan State Park, 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139.
Overflow Parking (River Bend Campground)
When
June 3, 2023. 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Come take a walk with us under a full moon to search for some of the park's most illusive night-time predators -- owls! As we walk along under the quiet cover of darkness, we'll listen for their haunting voices as they cry out across the landscape. You'll practice identifying the unique calls of three different species of owls and learn how their fascinating adaptations have made them a formidable night-time predator.
The walk will be up to one mile along a gravel road with frequent stops to listen for owl calls. The full moon will provide us with a generous amount of light, but you can bring a flashlight or headlamp if you'd like, ideally with a red light setting to prevent disrupting the nocturnal animals and our own night vision.
Meet at the overflow parking lot near the River Bend Campsite. WHO knows who we'll find?
