Owl Prowl: Wingfield Pines
Fri., October 16 | 7 – 9 pm
Members: $20 per participant; Non-Members: $25
Wingfield Pines*
Who-o-o will you hear calling from the trees at night? Take a twilight trek through Wingfield Pines with the National Aviary's own licensed falconer Cathy Schlott, and search (and listen!) for some of nature's most mysterious creatures: owls. Learn more about Pittsburgh's native owl species and be regaled as Cathy shares her expertise on these nocturnal neighbors - from their amazing adaptations to their incredible behaviors.
Wingfield Pines is protected via the Allegheny Land Trust (ATL) and serves as a natural refuge for flora and fauna, including native and migrating birds. Nearly 200 individual bird species have been observed at Wingfield Pines, including Barred Owls!
Owl Prowl Tips:
- Participants should wear appropriate footwear for walking on unpaved paths
- Have a flashlight handy
*This is a meet-up-style program; participants travel independently to the location. Participants must be 6 years of age or older; those under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. A printed guide that highlights native and migrating owls will be provided. There are no trash or restroom facilities at Toms Run Nature Reserve or Windfield Pines.

AS A BONUS: Symbolically adopt a Northern Saw-whet Owl this fall. All adoptions support the National Aviary's critical conservation effort, Project Owlnet!
