Program Description for the Public

Join Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority's knowledgeable docents and staff as we step onto the trail after dark and explore the unique nighttime world of owls. Together we'll learn how these remarkable hunters survive in low light, communicate with mates, and care for their young. We'll slow down, listen closely, and see what the park reveals. With luck (and quiet footsteps), we may even hear or spot owls going about their nightly routine.     So... hooooo will join us?
