Winter night hikes to search for wild local owls will run four nights in January for begin- ners, families and experts. The Jan. 14 and Jan. 28 dates are for advanced adult prowlers. On Jan. 15 and 29, all ages and families will be the focus. Both evenings feature visits with the Mountsberg Raptor Centres resident birds of prey to give guests a memorable nose to beak experience. The Family Nights also include a puppet show and a special story time, while the advanced prowl gives nature-minded adults a chance to learn the fine details of owl behav- iour, anatomy, and natural history. Admission for the Owl Prowl programs is by advance registration only online at www.con- servationhalton.ca. Call Mountsberg at 905-854-2276 for more information on the program.
