First Settler Antiques sponsors \u201cOwl Prowl\u201d with Friends of Rogers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Friends of Rogers on Feb. 2 for a full-moon guided hike and \u201cOwl Prowl,\u201d during an evening trek through one of the many trails at Rogers Center in Sherburne. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., after the sun sets, this adventure provides a unique opportunity to view nature from a new perspective, guided only by the light of the full moon.<\/p>\n

During the \u201cOwl Prowl,\u201d participants will attempt to call out some of the nocturnal creatures known to frequent the area during this time of night. Considered \u201csilent hunters,\u201d owls are normally difficult to spot, but Friends of Rogers Environmental Educator Sarah Freedman is optimistic that hikers will be able to hear these majestic birds.<\/p>\n

\u201cRogers Center provides a perfect habitat for barred owls, so we\u2019re optimistic that we\u2019ll be able to call some in,\u201d said Freedman. \u201cAlso, great horned owls are mating this time of year, so they will be around – and they will be vocal!\u201d<\/p>\n

Barred and great horned owls are two of the eight that are indigenous to New York \u2500 long-eared,\u00a0short-eared, screech, saw-whet, snowy and barn owls also call the Empire State home. With all these possibilities, participants hoping for an encounter with one of these owl species should not leave disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to First Settler Antiques for partnering with us,\u201d said Simon Solomon, executive director. \u201cWhile not a local business, we appreciate the philanthropic spirit behind this corporate partnership which makes unique programming like \u2018Owl Prowl\u2019 possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Depending on weather conditions, complimentary snowshoes will be used for this full-moon guided night hike. \u201cOwl Prowl\u201d will begin at the Visitor Center on Route 80 in Sherburne; those needing to may use the adjacent parking lot, and the center is accessible.<\/p>\n

Pre-registration is required by noon on February 1 at $4 for members or $6 for not-yet members; call (607) 674-4733 or email execdir@FriendsofRogers.org for more details.<\/p>\n

Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers\u00a0Environmental\u00a0Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for all ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
