New Jersey Audubon Society’s Weis Ecology Center is hosting an evening Owl Prowl for adults and families. Environmental Educators Jen Bernstock and Lisa Montagnino will present this indoor/ outdoor program which includes a short slide show on local owl species, an opportunity to meet a live Barred Owl, examine owl artifacts, and instruction on identifying owls by their calls. Participants will then go outdoors to prowl for wild great-horned, screech, and barred owls. Please dress for the weather and bring a flashlight.

The cost of the owl prowl is $8 per person, with a $3 discount for members of the New Jersey Audubon Society. Pre-registration is required as space is limited.
