Evening is one of the best times to observe owls as they prepare for and start their nightly foraging
activities. Join Naturalist Charlotte Gruneau for a ramble looking and listening for Barred Owls in one
of Bowen’s forest habitats. Charlotte is an owl specialist who has been observing and photographing owls on Bowen and elsewhere for many years. Bring your owl questions and observations. Charlotte can expand your knowledge about owl behaviour and owl watching.
