Owls by the Light of the Moon ─ Annual Foray with Joe Giunta

Walk Leader: Frank Quevedo, SOFO Executive Director

(Joe Guinta was originally scheduled to lead this program but cannot. Joe Giunta, birding instructor for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden; trip leader for New York City Audubon; lecturer for many local chapters; and owner of Happy Warblers LLC, a birding and educational travel company)

Listen for the whinnying sound of the Eastern Screech Owl or maybe even the seven-note hoot of the Great Horned Owl on this nighttime owl prowl that marks the beginning of our owls’ courtship season. Frank, an expert birder, will present a brief slide show and then take you into the field to call owls in for actual sightings. Bring binoculars and a flashlight. Limited enrollment. This program is for adults.

There is a $5 fee for Adults and $3 fee for children for this program. Members are free.
