Event details

This hike will begin with a brief introduction to the owls of Will County and what makes them so exceptional. Then we’ll head off to explore the darkening trails as we quietly listen for these magical and elusive birds! While we listen for the owl serenade, we’ll also have the chance to hear other creatures of the night.
