Family Owl Prowl at North Park Village

  • North Park Village Nature Center 5801 N Pulaski Rd Chicago, IL, 60646 United States (map)

In partnership with the Chicago Park District, come and learn about the raptor of the night- the owl! This interpretive program and guided walk will lead participants through the preserve in search of owls.

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.
