OWBC Field Trip: Owl Prowl at the Cedarburg Bog – FREE

November 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition Field Trip Owl Prowl at the Cedarburg Bog

Join the Cedarburg Bog Owl Prowl team as we search for owls. We will be looking for Barred, Great-Horned, Northern Saw-whet, and Eastern Screech-Owls for sure and maybe a rare species such as Long-eared Owl. There are no guarantees as owls can be fickle; however, we have never struck out when weather conditions are right! Dress warm and bring binoculars, water, and a small flashlight. We will mostly be owling along Blue Goose and St. Augustine Road with short forays into the woods and/or the Bog itself. We will be standing in place for extended periods so dress warm with good walking shoes or boots. You may want to eat a snack or early dinner before arrival. If there are strong winds, heavy precipitation, and/or severe temperatures, this outing may be postponed. We will let you know in the afternoon by email if there is a postponement. Check your email in afternoon in case of postponement.

Meet at the UWM Field Station in Saukville (address below).

Recommended for ages 10+ (youth must be accompanied by an adult) and is free to attend.
Pre-registration is required.
