Join us for a pre-dawn owl prowl through the Pinetum and some areas outside the deer exclusion fence. Be on the lookout for Great Horned, Screech, and Barred Owls. Less likely but always possible are Saw-whet and Long-eared owls. Don't miss this rare chance to listen to owls calling under an early morning sky!
