Observe Saw Whet Owl Banding
November 5, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Save the Date for this fun family experience!
(This is the new date due to postponing 10/27/23)
Observe Northern Saw-whet Owl banding at Rushton Farm and experience nature at night. These tiny owls (no bigger than a soda can) travel through Pennsylvania in the fall in search of ideal overwintering habitat.
Learn all about their ecology and conservation from our field scientists, and (hopefully) see an owl up-close. Limit 25 guests.
Very Important Things to Remember:
We are in a place with heat, running water, etc. BUT, if you want to see owls or go on a night hike, bring appropriate boots, layers, and headlamps.
Please Note:
Arrival time is 6:30 and it will end at 11:30. You do not need to stay the entire time. You may come and go as you wish.
We won’t band if it’s raining or if weather conditions are too warm.
Address for Parking: Rushton Farm, 911 Delchester Road, Newtown Square, PA 19073.
