Starry Night Owl Prowl
Where
Powhatan State Park, 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139.
Shelter 3
When
June 19, 2024. 8:45 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Come take a walk with us under a starry sky to search for some of the park's most elusive 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 with frequent stops to listen for owl calls.
Please bring a flashlight or headlamp with a red light setting or red cellophane covering to prevent disrupting the nocturnal animals and our own night vision. Please meet at Shelter 3 near Canoe Launch A. 'WHO' knows who we'll find?
