Personals ABCA annual Night Hike and Owl Prowl Nov. 4 EXETER — The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is hosting its popular annual Night Hike and Owl Prowl Nov 4. The evening hike begins at 7 p.m. with a presentation at the workshop. "The nocturnal creatures active at night are really incredible," says ABCA conservation education specialist Julie Hicks. "They have many fascinating adaptations to their environment," Hicks adds. More than 75 people came out to enjoy Morrison Dam Conservation Area in the dark last year. Spectators are invited to get their eyes accustomed to the dim light and explore the wonderful world of owls and other creatures of the night. The journey will begin with a slide talk at the workshop behind the ABCA's administration office. "Along the trail, we'll discuss night-time creatures like rac- coons, skunks, moths and hopeful- ly we will hear the call of the screech owl," says Hicks. After the hike, hot chocolate will be available to sip around an out- door fireplace. Bring your own mug to cut down on garbage. Hikers and prowlers are remind- ed to dress appropriately for being outdoors. If rain is imminent on Nov. 4, call the ABCA at 235-2610 or 1 888-286-2610 for an update.
