Night Sounds Nature Tour

Join Stan Shadick as he leads a small group of nature enthusiasts on a night driving trip along the backroads of Pike Lake (April 3). During this Night Sounds nature tour, we will make frequent stops near woods and ponds to listen for the hooting of Great Horned Owls and the whistles of Northern Saw-whet owls. We may also hear the drumming of a Ruffed Grouse. Other sounds might include the duck-like calls of Wood Frogs, the comb-like call of Boreal Chorus Frogs or the howling of a pack of coyotes. Who knows what other sounds we might discover! There are no guarantees.

Possible Postponement. If the predicted weather (wind, rain) or road conditions are unsuitable, this Night Sounds tour will be postponed to the next suitable evening so that we have the best chance of hearing distant sounds. Participants should ensure that they are available to join the tour on the next day in case it needs to be postponed.
