Whoooooo goes there?!

Join CLC and the Berkshire Bird Observatory for a spooky, sensational evening of Saw-whet owl banding at Siegel-Kline Kill. This program will give participants a special look into the world of fall migration bird banding and the lives of secretive Saw-whet owls.

What’s involved: This program will take place after sunset and will involve walking about a quarter-mile along the Meadow Loop Trail over mowed grass. Please come prepared for this program with a light source (flashlight, headlamp, or fully-charged smartphone) to walk safely to the owl banding station.

What to bring: A flashlight or headlamp, a water bottle, and additional warm layers. Bringing a camping chair or blanket to sit on while waiting is highly recommended for this program!

What not to bring: Please, no dogs.
