Alachua Audubon Field Trip: La Chua Owl Prowl

  • When: Sunday, June 9, 2024,  8:00 pm -  9:30 pm
  • Location: 4270 SE 15th St, Gainesville, FL 32641
  • Cost: free

Make sure to be in LaChua before 8 pm. We will meet on the boardwalk.

We will then walk out to the end of the grassy area that is past the end of the boardwalk.

Then we wait for the sun to set to hopefully get a glimpse of some of the most elusive nocturnal birds: the Yellow-crowned Night Heron and the Barn Owl. Anticipated sightings include Barred Owl and Great Horned Owl. Eastern Screech Owl will likely be calling as it gets later.

DIFFICULTY: 2
•Some uneven terrain and walking in the dark.
•Mosquitoes are a certainty. Wear repellent and long sleeves.
•Bring a headlamp or small flashlight to walk back to parking once viewing ends.
