Last year, for the first time, the Bluewater Centre for Raptor Rehabilitation brought live owls to the edu- cational nature event. The live owls were so popular event organizers say the owls are coming back for this year's activity. "The live owls last year added something new and exciting to an event that peo- ple already loved," said Julie Stellingwerff, Conservation Educator and Team Leader with Ausable Bayfield Con- servation. "Hundreds of people attend this event to call for owls, learn about owls, and find out how they thrive in the night." Last year was also the first time the Owl Prowl gave the public the choice of three starting times. "That worked really well for those who took part," said Stellingw- erff. "It worked so well last year we're doing it again this year." The public can choose from one of three owl pres- entation and hike sessions starting at 5:30 p.m., 7 p.m., or 8:30 p.m. Space is lim- ited. Organizers invite par- ticipants to come early for the time they prefer and invite families with younger children to consider the ear- lier time. Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation hosts the Owl Prowl at Morrison Dam Conservation Area Workshop, 71108 Mor- rison Line, two kilometres east of Exeter, just south of Highway 83. This year's event takes place on Satur- day, November 1, 2014 with three live owl presentation and hike sessions.
