The Nature Institute will host two Owl Prowls in February to help people learn more about owls and hear them.
Treehouse Wildlife CenterGODFREY – The Nature Institute will host two Owl Prowl events to give the public a chance to learn more about owls and hear them in the preserve.
Great-horned owls and barred owls are the two common owls in Illinois. During the winter these owls build nests, find mates, and defend their territory. Since owls are active and vocal when defending their territories, it gives us a chance to consistently hear them in the wild.
The Nature Institute will host two Owl Prowl events to give the public a chance to learn more about owls and hear them in the preserve.
TreeHouse Wildlife Center will bring several owl species to The Nature Institute on two occasions this winter. The Valentine’s Day Owl Prowl on Tuesday, Feb. 14 is designed for adults. This program will be a unique event with learning, appetizers, and wine for groups of friends and couples to enjoy together. The TreeHouse program will start indoors with the live owls and snacks, then we will head outside to call and listen for wild owls.
On Saturday, Feb. 18, TreeHouse will return for a family oriented program. Families will learn about owls, and meet the owl ambassadors then continue outside for an owl prowl hike.
