SUMMARY:Owl Prowl
DESCRIPTION:Owl Prowl\nby Congaree National Park\nFriday\, Dec 20th @4pm\nFREE — All Ages\nNote: This is NOT a Cola City event \nHave you ever heard an owl calling in the dead of night and been curious? How do they hunt? How do they see? Why do people associate them with wisdom? Join park staff for an evening hike to answer these questions and more! \nOwls are mysterious creatures to many\, as we do not often see them\, and only hear them calling at night outside of our homes. This 1.5 hour guided hike along the Boardwalk and Sims trail. We will talk about the unique adaptations owls have made that allow them to be such capable hunters\, and how they use their senses to survive and thrive in the dark. We will keep our eyes and ears open and hopefully catch a glimpse or hear one of the many owls that call Congaree National Park home\, as well as possibly other nocturnal creatures that might be out in the dark as well. \nWhat to know: \n-We will be meeting at the Harry Hampton Visitor Center. \n-Pets are not permitted on this walk. Service animals are welcome. \n– Visitors may bring a flashlight as this program will take place after dark. Flashlights should have a red mode\, or the light should be covered with red cellophane in order to preserve visitors and wildlife’s night vision. If you do not have a red mode\, the park will be providing red cellophane. \n-Please wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking approximately 2.5 miles. Please bring water and wear weather appropriate clothing. \n– Event could be canceled due to inclement weather. \nGet your FREE TICKETS HERE! \n
