Owl Prowl
Where
Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Boat Ramp off of Mitchell Valley Road
When
April 24, 2026. 8:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Whooooo’s calling in the night!? Let’s unmask these night hunters. Join us for a mysterious owl prowl as we discover the amazing adaptations that make owls silent, swift predators of the night. Learn to identify local owl species by sight and sound. We just might be lucky enough to see one.
This is really more like a saunter, not so much a hike. We will cover maybe 3/4 of a mile. You may bring a flashlight, but we ask you to only use it for safety reasons of unsure footing.
