## About

Owl Prowl at Irvine Nature Center starts indoors, where families practice recognizing the calls of Maryland's native owls, then heads out after dark for a quiet walk on the trails to call to them. Winter is a good season for listening, and the evening ends with an up-close meeting with Irvine's ambassador owls. The program is recommended for ages 7 and up, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Advance registration is encouraged because it is cancelled if the minimum is not met.
