Starr's Cave Owl Prowl

January and February are active months for barred owls because it is when they begin looking for a partner. Barred Owls use sound and body language to try to impress each other in hopes of finding a mate. Those who would like to learn more about owls are invited to join an Owl Prowl on Thursday, February 2nd starting at 7 p.m. at Starr’s Cave Nature Center.

This program is an hour and a half long and will be led by a Des Moines County Conservation Naturalist. The program will begin with a short presentation regarding owls followed by owl calling using recorded calls. The participants will head out for a 2-mile round trip night hike, and if all goes as planned, owl prowlers will hear owls talk back and might even get to see one swoop silently down for a closer look.

This Owl Prowl will meet at the Starr’s Cave Nature Center at 7 p.m. on February 2nd. Since silent listening is required, children must be accompanied by an adult. Dress for the weather and prepare for a 2-mile hike in the dark. There is no fee to join this event, but registration is required, as space is limited. To register, contact Starr’s Cave Nature Center at (319) 753-5808.
