As dusk settles in, join us for an evening exploration of the campground trails and roads as we listen to the sounds of nightfall. Along the way, we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for a resident pair of barred owls that has called this area home for years. This is a unique opportunity to experience the campground after hours while learning about some of Ohio’s most vocal and fascinating raptors. Who knows—we may even have an owl join us on our walk. The program will begin with a small-group owl pellet dissection, where participants will learn about the ecological value of studying these fascinating clues to an owl’s diet. We will then enjoy a short presentation on the owls of Ohio, followed by a guided hike of no more than three-quarters of a mile, mostly on pavement, as we attempt to call in wild owls for observation.

Loation: Mosquito Lake State Park Amphitheater

PLEASE NOTE: Park in the campground over flow parking lot and look for the “Program Event” signs to lead you down the path through the woods to the amphitheater.
