EMINENCE, Mo. -- Ozark National Scenic Riverways will hold an Owl Prowl Friday, Feb. 2 at Alley Spring.
The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Alley Spring General Store.
Rangers will discuss facts and folklore about these little understood hunters of the night, according to organizers.
Using recorded owl calls, rangers will try to get the owls to answer and maybe even approach close enough for a good look, they say.
A walk will be less than one mile, but participants are encouraged to come prepared for chilly weather.
Visitors can also enjoy hot drinks at the general store before and after this free program.
The Alley Spring General Store is on the grounds near Alley Spring, located six miles west of Eminence, Mo., on State Route 106. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
