Parking: City Lot H
Location: The Water Works at Buffalo Bayou Park (105 Sabine St.)

Enjoy a free walking tour in Buffalo Bayou Park highlighting the landscape and ecology of 19th century Texas that created Houston, as well as the importance of prairies in rebuilding this astonishing and all but vanished ecosystem.

Owl Prowls begin with a lively program on owls including a rare opportunity to meet live, rehabilitated owls. Then Houston Audubon go out on wooded trails in search of wild owls. The programs are held both at Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary and at the Raptor and Education Center.

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Fee: $10.00 adults; $6.00 children (ages 3-17), payable in advance.

What to Bring: Dress for walking in the woods – including insect repellent. Adults may bring a flashlight. Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

Weather: Houston Audubon will call you the afternoon of the prowl if stormy weather forces us to reschedule.

Meet count leader Jason Bonilla in the parking lot of Woodland Park. Please note that the park does not have a maintained trail system. As such, there is a lot of poison ivy that is somewhat unavoidable when walking the park and looking for birds. Additionally, there are terrain changes and unstable areas. Participants should wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. They usually meet on the fourth Saturday of the month.
