Owl prowl for the family

January
9

The New Jersey Audubon Society has scheduled a Jan. 17 program focusing on owls at the nearby (to Rockland) Weis Ecology Center in Ringwood, N.J.

Weis naturalists will be provide an overview of local owls, and participants can meet a live screech owl, enjoy some hot chocolate, then head outside to listen for and to learn the calls of wild owls.

The program is geared toward families, and those attending should dress for the weather.

The event runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required and space is limited. The cost is $9 for non Audubon members, with a maximum charge of $27 per family.

Weis Ecology Center is located at 150 Snake Den Road. Visit www.njaudubon.org or call 973-835-2160 to register or for more information.
