Owl Wars July 11, 2009

Muir Woods marks the Southern front in a battle for survival between two competing owl species. On this strenuous 7 mile dusk hike we will look and listen for the owls that call Muir Woods home, learn more about their history and ecology, and receive the latest research updates on our most famous resident, the Spotted Owl, which is currently defending its habitat from the invading Barred Owl. 25 person maximum. No dogs. Bring flashlight, layers, water, and snack. $3 material fee (optional). Meet at Muir Woodss main entrance.
