Moonlight Owl Walk at Merck Forest and Farmland Center

January 9, 2015, 8:00pm - 9:30pm

Cost: suggested $5.00 donation/person

Join naturalist, Patty Wesner, on a walk to listen for courting owls. Owls begin courtship in January, and they start nesting in February (ahead of the spring rush!). Participants will have a good chance of hearing or seeing Barred owls, Great-horned owls, and maybe lucky enough to call in a Saw-whet owl or Screech owl. This walk is open to families. Please come dressed for the cold weather and possible snow. You may also want to bring a flashlight for the walk out to the site. Merck Forest may cancel the event in advance due to inclement winter weather. Please, call to register.
