Owl Prowl

Ozark Owls

with Mitchell Pruitt and Lynn Sciumbato and ONSC Naturalists 

Febuary 8th 5pm-11pm

Join us for a night of owl education, food, and friends at the Ozark Natural Science Center!

Starting at 5pm Lynn Sciumbato, director of Morning Star Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will give a presentation on raptor rehabilitation and conservation along with Sydney the Barred Owl and Igor the Turkey Vulture.

Dinner will begin at 6:00pm. Followed by a presentation and owling with Mitchell Pruitt. Owling with Mitchell will give attendees the opportunity to be a part of active ecological research. Attendees will first be given a presentation where Mitchell will discuss owls. Afterwards, research will begin and we will attempt to capture a live owl! Though Pruitt is known for his research on the saw-whet-owls, we will be focusing our attention on his new research on other owl species, not the saw-whet-owls.

As the night grows late, guests will take turns checking the nets, taking a short full moon night hike led by a ONSC teacher naturalist, and enjoying the campfire in the pavilion. Official programming will end by 8pm or so but guests can stay as long as they like if we are still attempting to capture an owl.
