Who could pass up an unusual opportunity like this? Not bird lovers, that’s for sure.

Judy Kellogg Markowsky informs us that Maine Audubon has a group of “night owl” volunteers who, from midnight to 4 a.m., go in search of owls on what is known as an “Audubon Owl Prowl.”

Their work, she wrote, has increased the amount of available information about “Maine’s mysterious, little-known owls.”

Some members of the Audubon Owl Prowl will share their adventures with you from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, at Fields Pond Audubon Center in Holden.

The admission fee of $6, or $5 for Audubon members, benefits the Audubon Center.

Kit Pfeiffer, Karen Larsen, Dave Potter, Olga Lange and Ted Whitham will tell you stories of their adventures and experiences, and provide results from the data they have collected over the years.

After the presentations, on what is the evening of a full moon, you will go outside and try to verify the presence of owls.

Markowsky explained that resident Maine owls – the saw-whet, barred and great horned – are found from time to time at the Fields Pond Audubon Center, and that March is the best time to find them.

And while the naturalists will help you understand how to verify the presence of an owl, they cannot guarantee you will see one.

You should wear warm clothes and bring a folding chair and blanket to keep you comfortable during this unusual, shared outdoor experience.

A Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Show benefit for John Sanborn of Stockton Springs is being held at 7 p.m. today in the auditorium at Bucksport Middle School on Miles Lane.
