Owl Prowl

Please join us for our second annual Owl Prowl, where we will be looking and listening for owls in at least two separate locations.  We will meet at the Seneca Meadows Education Center (1977 NYS Route 414 in Waterloo, NY 13165) at 3:00 PM.  Then we will carpool to Johnson Road in the Town of Phelps, where Short-eared Owls are seen often in winter.  There are usually excellent photo opportunities at this location.  At about 4:00 PM, on the way back to the Seneca Meadows Education Center, we will stop briefly on Lester Road, where I had a Screech Owl last year.  Then we will head back to the SMEC, where we will have a pizza dinner.  During dinner, we will see some videos about owls.  Then, after dark, we will drive to the Seneca Meadows Wetland Preserve to listen for more owls, ending by 7:00 PM at the latest.  As this is winter, please dress warmly, with hats, gloves, etc.  Bring binoculars and if you don’t have your own, we will have some to loan out.  This is a free event!  All ages are welcome, including families with or without children, groups, and under-represented communities.  For more information and any questions, please call the SMEC at (315) 539-5089 and leave a detailed message, or email to fred.leff@audubon.org
