Owl Prowl February 11, 2011

At Mason Farm Biological Preserve in Chapel Hill. Local owls have paired back up with their mate and are putting the finishing touches on their nests to get ready for their new family. Come to the Mason Farm Biological Preserve to listen and look for signs of screech, barred, and great horned owls. You will have the chance to see live Owls up close! You'll also learn why owls are so important to the environment and what you can do to help protect them. We'll try several owl calls to see if we can get any wild owls to come check us out and call back. This program is co-sponsored by the NC Botanical Garden. (The Mason Farm Preserve is normally only open from dawn to dusk so this is a special opportunity for you to visit the preserve at night!). Pre-registration is highly recommended for all weekend programs. Please register by the Wednesday prior to the weekend. To register, call (919) 489-0900. Make sure to check on this web page before coming on the day of the program in case of class updates or cancellations. Updates will be posted alongside the course descriptions for each course. Drop-ins are also welcome if the program is not already full. Directions: All weekend programs take place at Leigh Farm Park in Durham except for the Owl Prowls, which take place at Mason Farm Preserve in Chapel Hill.
