(Chelsea Update would like to thank Tracy Ball for the information in this story.)
Waterloo State Recreation Area invites everyone to bundle up for an evening of excitement with an Owl Prowl on Friday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.
Participants should meet at the Gerald E. Eddy Discovery Center, located at 17030 Bush Road in the Waterloo State Recreation Area at 7 p.m. for S’mores around a bonfire. After a brief presentation by the park interpreter, participants will embark on a hike through the woods. Owls will be called and hopefully participants will either hear or spot one.
After the hike, guests can return to the bonfire, chat about owls and share nature stories. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather (events will take place rain or shine), and bring something to drink, a camp chair, a flashlight or miner’s light and a great outdoor or nature story to share around the fire.
This program is free, however, a Recreation Passport is required for all vehicles entering the state parks and recreation areas.
Owl Prowls are being held state-wide; a complete listing is available here.
