OWL PROWL WEEKEND AT STARVED ROCK
Spring came and stayed all weekend long at the Owl Prowl weekend at Starved Rock March 10th and 11th. Along with the beautiful weather and fabulous environment, Hoo Haven presented a great horned owl (Jessie), a barred owl (Kenyata), an eastern screech owl (Lil Red), a red tailed hawk (Samantha), a corn snake (Root Beer) and a rat (Cookie) to over 300 people. We were also thrilled to have Steve Bailey at our last presentation who helped us identify the call of all three of the owls. Steve is a master owl caller and led the nightly owl prowls to visitors.
A big thanks to Starved Rock for inviting us to Owl Prowl weekend and everyone be watching for us there again April 14th and 15th for Pelican Days.
