We’re sorry, this field trip is cancelled due to concerns around COVID-19.
Enjoy the nighttime woods on this evening Owl Prowl at the Lakeshore Nature Preserve, beginning at Picnic Point. Meet at Lot 130 (43°05'02.8"N 89°25'46.4"W) at the entrance to Picnic Point, and bring a headlamp or flashlight if you like. We will begin birding after dusk at Picnic Point and continue our Owl Prowl until 8:00 p.m. Great Horned and Barred Owls are regularly seen in this area, and we may get lucky and find Screech Owls as well! We will have binoculars for loan.
