Jefferson County Conservation hosts their Owl Prowl Tonight, providing a unique opportunity to hear or even catch a glimpse of the birds as they pair up this month.

Beginning at 6 p.m. the group will meet at the Jefferson County Park Nature Center at 2003 Libertyville Road in Fairfield. Participants have the opportunity to learn and practice different owl calls, before heading into the woods for a short hike. Warm clothing is recommended, and children must be accompanied by an adult.

Naturalist for Jefferson County Conservation, Brittney Tiller, believes that the Owl Prowl is a great chance for guests of all ages to experience nature this time of year. “Really the main goal is to get people outside in the evening or night time  in the winter,” she said. 

The event is free, with no pre-registration required. For more information about the Owl Prowl, visit jeffersoncountyconservation.com.
