To all owl enthusiasts young and old:

I'm leading an owl hike for the Seattle Parks Department tonight 7 - 9 pm,
again apologies for the short notice (I hope to get better on this), but, as
always, better late than never (last I checked there were still about 5
spaces available, so check by phone or internet to see if a spot is still
available - phone and website below):

Please pre-register by calling (Camp Long) 206 684-7434
(One can also pre-register on line at www.seattle.gov/parks - on the home
page scroll down a bit to the green "classes and programs" box in the center
for course listings and registration)

Owl Hoot at Camp Long
Tonight, Sat September 27 7-9 p.m.
Ages 5 and older

A family friendly program. All ages and levels are welcome. Barred Owls
are likely (they're usually around at Camp Long, but not always vocal or
visible) We will at least be able to see remnants of old pellets under old
perches. We'll also keep an ear and a number of eyes out for Screech Owls,
which are possible, but not very likely anymore, since Camp Long was taken
over by Barred Owls. Great Horned sometimes show up in late October, but
we'll try hooting for them just in case. After a short presentation with our
mounted owls of several species, we'll look for owls. Remind me to bring
the Bat Dectector, as there are likely still some bats around. We'll poke
around for pellets to pull apart and hear how to hoot. Please call (206)
684-7434 to register.

Activity Fee $8
