Screech Owl(stock picture from Wikipedia)
This picture is the closest I came to an owl last night on our Owl Prowl walk. We walked the Long Bark Trail along the river for about a mile or so. Periodically we stopped and called to a Screech Owl...played a tapped call. Everyone stood in a circle facing out to look in every direction for an owl. Unfortunately, last night, neither group saw an owl.
The walk was really cool though. It was about 26 degrees and no wind. With the snow on the ground and a full moon, the wood was really beautiful. I always thought that walking in the woods at night would be really creepy but it was so pretty. I guess being with 20+ other people helped. :-)
