Owls live all around us but are very good at evading detection. Spend the first 30-45 minutes indoors learning how to identify our local owls by size, shape, silhouette and sound, and discovering the dos and don'ts of calling for owls. Then participants will drive their vehicles following expert owl caller Jo Severson to 3-4 known owl territories within 10 miles of Houston to call and listen for Eastern Screech-Owls, Barred Owls, and Great Horned Owls from the side of the road. Meet at the International Owl Center no later than the listed start time (the Center will open 30 minutes prior to the program start time, or if the start time is at 4:00 PM, participants can come starting at 3:30 without needing to pay admission.) Ambassador owls go home at 4:00 PM, so if you want to see the owls, plan accordingly. Dress for the weather, and try to wear clothes that don't make noise when you move.
No pets, smoking or vaping allowed during the indoor or outdoor portions of the program. Expect to return to the Owl Center roughly 2.5 - 3 hours after program start time.
Programs will be canceled in case of significant wind, rain, severe road conditions, or low enrollment. Cancellations will be announced at least 24 hours prior to the program time.
Maximum 30 participants
Cost: $10 for members; $15 for non-members, plus a small ticketing fee. Tickets must be purchased in advance, and usually sell out quickly. Registration is only open for one owl prowl at a time and will open a month before each date.
