Owl Prowls begin with a lively program on owls including a rare opportunity to meet live, rehabilitated owls at the Edith Moore Sanctuary log cabin. Then we take recordings of screech owl calls out onto the Sanctuary’s wooded trails in hopes of attracting the attention of resident screech owls who are busy setting up their territories in preparation for nesting in early March.
