CANCELLED . . .

DUE TO EXPECTED NW WINDS AND SUBZERO TEMPS, WE HAVE CANCELLED THIS FIELD TRIP.

Unfortunately, we will not reschedule this activity. STAY WARM AND SAFE.

Join us at the Rat River Wildlife Area on this evening owl prowl. We will watch for Short-eared Owls along Shady Lane and then listen nearby for possible Great Horned, Barred, and Screech Owls. We may drive a short distance in searching of calling owls. Successful sightings will be strongly dependent on cooperative weather conditions. This outing requires minimal to no hiking. Dress warmly and bring binoculars.

Directions: Shady Lane is a county road north of Hwy 10 that crosses Hwy 76. From the intersection of Hwy 76 and Hwy 10 go north on Hwy 76 for about 0.7 mile. Turn left/west on Shady Lane. Go straight at the stop sign at Center Road. Look for parked vehicles along the marshy area of Shady Lane.
