Owl Prowl Birding Kayak Tour

October 13 |

Sun., October 13 | 5:30 – 8:30 pm | $75 per person | North Park Lake

For one night only!! Two of our most popular fall programs are combining in 2024! This October, join National Aviary Ornithology and Education experts and L.L.Bean’s experienced and professional guides for an Owl Prowl Birdwatching Kayak Tour! This on water AND land event promises to be an exhilarating fall activity. First, observe birds by kayak during a beautiful evening tour. Watch as species like herons and osprey settle in for the night, then move to nearby trails for a twilight trek to search and listen for native owls like Eastern Screech-Owls, Barred Owls, and more.
 
L.L.Bean’s experienced and professional guides will provide on-land instruction on kayak equipment, basic strokes, and safety guidelines before a National Aviary expert leads kayakers out on the water to scan the shoreline and surrounding forest for birds. All equipment, including kayaks, paddles, safety floatation devices, and L.L.Bean Discovery Binoculars are included. 

No prior experience is necessary. Kayakers must be 8 and up, under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
