Park 566 Owl Prowl

  • Park 566 Chicago, IL, 60617 United States (map)

Join COS for an owl prowl at Park 566. We will look for owls of all kinds but will focus on finding Short-eared Owls that are seen there frequently.

Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available! Total trip distance is approximately 1 mile. Trails are often unpaved and muddy so sturdy, waterproof footwear is strongly recommended. Please dress aggressively for the weather with multiple layers as temperatures can drop rapidly after sunset and owling is frigid business. Flashlights permitted but not required.

Leader: Edward Warden

You must RSVP in advance. Pre-registration is required for the bird walk. Please contact Edward (edwarhzan@gmail.com) or aerin tedesco (aerintedesco@gmail.com) at least 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend or with questions.

Safety Instructions:
- In order to attend you must be FULLY VACCINATED.
- Please bring a face mask with you. You may be asked to wear it as needed by the trip leader.
