Owls By Moonlight

Owls are creatures of the crepuscular hours – the transitional times of dusk and dawn. The timing of their activity along with their characteristic silent flight make them very difficult to see in the wild. Visit the Center for Birds of Prey for a special, nighttime program that focuses entirely on owls.
