HMREC is excited to offer the opportunity to join you for our owl research.  Each evening session is approximately two hours long and dates have been picked to maximize the potential to see owls being banded.

For those night-time enthusiasts especially those WHOO, WHOO, who love owls, Owl Banding Nights are for you!

See owls up close, learn about the three species of owls studied at the marsh, dissect an owl pellet, and gain a better understanding of how banding research helps the conservation efforts of these wondrous creatures

PLEASE NOTE: Owl Banding nights does not guarantee you or the group to see an owl up close. We will cancel the evening in unfavorable conditions, but we don’t always capture an owl during visitor hours. We will try our best, and we promise a hoot of a time!
