FIELD TRIP: In Search of Owls
DATE: Wednesday, October 30, 2024
TIME: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
LEADER: Rouvaishyana
CO-LEADER: Peggy Burhenn
Trip is limited to 12 participants - Signups will be taken for 24 hours. Participants will be randomly selected. The remainder will be put on standby status in case of cancellations. Only registered people may attend.
Description: We will look/listen for a variety of owls: Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, Short-Eared Owl, Western Screech-Owl, and Long-Eared Owl are the most likely to encounter. We hope to hear owls; spotting one will be a bonus. We go to locations where we have encountered owls or where they are expected.
Participants should plan to have dinner beforehand or bring snacks. We will listen at the vehicles or in some cases take short walks with some up and down but mostly level. There may be gravel, grass/loose leaf litter or loose footing, wear appropriate shoes. Total walking distance less than 1 mile.
Note: Both co-leaders speak Spanish, and will be ready to discuss owls in Spanish if there are Spanish-speaking participants. Se habla espaƱol.
Restrooms are not available at the stops, but we can stop at a shopping center along the way that has public restrooms.
ADA Accessible: Parking areas where we plan to go are accessible, and participants could experience part of our planned program. Trails are not ADA accessible.
Experience Level: All Levels Welcome
