Owl Night

Experience Level: Beginner

Join us for an enchanting evening dedicated to the fascinating Northern Saw Whet Owl at Owl Night on Wednesday, Oct. 28 from 6 to 9 p.m.* in the Music Barn (588 Allerton Rd., Monticello).

Don't miss this rare opportunity to get up-close with these elusive creatures and connect with nature as researchers conduct live banding of these migrating avian wonders. Bring the little ones along for a variety of engaging kids’ activities that promise both fun and learning. As the night unfolds, enjoy the camaraderie at our cash bar — including both kid-friendly and adult beverages — as you mingle with fellow owl enthusiasts.

The Illinois Raptor Center will also be on hand with live birds to view and learn about.

*Nets will be opened for live banding at 5:30 p.m., but most owls will likely be captured after 8 p.m.

$10/person (5 & under free). Registration will close Oct. 21 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
