Who-o-o will you hear calling from the trees at night?
Take a twilight trek through Frick Park with the National Aviary’s own Ornithologist Bob Mulvihill, and search (and listen!) for some of nature’s most mysterious creatures: owls. Learn more about Pittsburgh’s native owl species and regale as Bob shares his expertise on these nocturnal neighbors – from their amazing adaptations to their incredible behaviors. Plus, he may even delight you with stories about his Northern Saw-whet Owl conservation!
Frick Park is Pittsburgh’s largest municipal park, covering more than 600 acres. It’s abundant with wildlife, with more than 100 species of birds having been recorded by birding enthusiasts exploring the area.
