Join Wildlands Trust’s volunteer hike leader, and avid birder, Brian Vigorito in the search for owls under the night sky! We will learn about what makes owls so special while keeping our eyes and ears peeled for them and other nocturnal creatures. Owls are not guaranteed, but a lovely, nighttime walk sure is! A headlamp and/or flashlight is required, preferably one with a red light setting.
