Many people have heard an owl, but few have ever seen one. Mt. Cuba’s varied landscapes and topography provide the ideal habitats for three of Delaware’s native owl species – the barred, great horned, and Eastern screech – and winter is the best time to spot them roosting in our trees. Owls are nocturnal so join us as we search for them just after dusk. Following a brief introductory lecture, we’ll head into the garden and listen to their unique calls. Dress for the weather.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Friday, February 6, 2026 (Rain Date: Wednesday, 2/11).
