Owl Prowl
at 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! Bring binoculars, water, and a small flashlight. We will mostly be owling along Blue Goose Road and possibly St. Augustine Road with a few short forays off these roads into the woods and/or into the Bog itself. We will be standing in place for extended periods of time so dress warmly 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. The OWBC will let you know in the afternoon by email if there is a postponement.
Meet at the UWM Field Station in Saukville (address below).
Ages 18+. Free to attend. Preregistration is required through the Friends of the Cedarburg Bog website.

Nature Tots:
Owls
Join us as we learn about these nocturnal animals that fly through the wintry nights in Wisconsin. Practice owl calls and examine their feathers up close! We’ll play a predator prey game, make snow owls, and search for owl signs in the forest.
Nature Tots is an early childhood program designed for learners ages 2-5 years old, accompanied by an adult guardian (little siblings ages 0-1 are welcome to tag along). A Riveredge Naturalist will focus on outdoor exploration, literacy, physical development, nature intelligence, and social development. Programs will be cancelled and refunded in the case of inclement weather.
