Owl Prowl + Birding Kayak Tour

Sun., October 12 | 5:30 - 8:30 pm | $75 per person | North Park Lake 

All necessary kayaking equipment provided

Two of our most popular fall programs are combining for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Join National Aviary Educator and Photographer, Mike Faix, alongside L.L.Bean's experienced, professional guides for an Owl Prowl + Birding Kayak Tour! This by land and by water excursion promises an exhilarating fall evening... First, observe birds settling in to roost by kayak during a sunset tour. Then, move to nearby trails for a twilight trek to search and listen for native owl species, like Eastern Screech-Owls and Great Horned Owls!  L.L.Bean will provide on-land instruction on kayak equipment, basic strokes, and safety guidelines before heading out on the water.

 

All equipment, including kayaks, paddles, safety flotation devices, and L.L.Bean Discovery Binoculars will be provided. No prior experience is necessary. Participants should wear appropriate footwear for walking on unpaved paths and have a flashlight handy. Open to participants 8 years or older; those under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult.
