Owl Howl

Mt Cuba, 3120 Barley Mill Rd, Hockessin, DE, 19707, United States

Owls are nocturnal so join us as we search for them just after dusk. Following a brief introductory lecture, we’ll head into the garden and listen for their unique calls. Dress for the weather. This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Wednesday, November 6, 2024
