Many owls, especially some of our common owls in Maine, actually breed in the middle of winter, so now is prime time to go on an owl prowl. A full moon makes it even better! Join Midcoast Conservancy for either of two Full Moon Owl Prowls to learn about all things owl-related.

On Monday, Feb. 9th, from 5-7 p.m. at Hidden Valley Nature Center (HVNC) in Jefferson, meet at the Nature Center gate at 5 to enjoy a winter night in the woods. Bird enthusiast Jody Telfair will teach about owls as hikers are guided along a trail where owls are apt to be found. After the walk, warm up by the woodstove with tea and hot chocolate. Feel free to bring something to eat.

On Friday, Feb. 10 at 5:30 p.m., join Midcoast Conservancy for a potluck supper and talk by naturalist Mike Shannon before heading outside to listen for owls. People of all ages are encouraged to attend. Meet in the Overlock Room of the Liberty Town Office at 5:30; bring a dish to share with everyone, along with eating utensils and plate or bowl. Drinks will be provided. Wear appropriate footwear for a walk in the woods and bring a flashlight or headlamp.
