Join us for a chance to see Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls and Screech Owls. Oh My!
Great Horned Owls will have been nesting since early February, Barred Owls will just be beginning in March, and Screech Owls will be getting ready to nest. Since they are defending territories, playing an owl tape or imitating their calls will likely bring them in where we can see them by lantern light. Headlamp and/or flashlight recommended! We cannot guarantee that we will see owls at this event, but we have had success in prior years.
We will meet at the Grosse Ile Yacht Club for a brief presentation, then head out for owling.
Leaders: Jim B. & Bruce S. (Subject to change)
