Owl Prowl at Dickinson Park

As summer fades into fall, a remarkable transformation is taking place high above the forest floor…young owls are leaving the nest and venturing out to find homes of their own. During this special time of year, these mysterious nighttime hunters are often discovered in the most unexpected places.

Join Ken Elkins for an unforgettable late-September Owl Prowl at Dickinson Park to explore the sights and sounds of the evening woods while learning about the fascinating lives of Connecticut’s native owls.

As darkness settles in, participants will listen for owl calls, search for signs of activity, and discover how young owls navigate their first independent season in the wild. Along the way, you’ll hear about the behaviors of these elusive birds and the important role they play in our local ecosystem.

Whether you’re an experienced birder or simply curious about the magic of the natural world after sunset, our Owl Prowl offers a memorable opportunity to connect with wildlife in a whole new way.
