“This time of year is a good time to see owls”
An Invitation to You from Carla Carlson and Niagara Nature Tours
Posted February 16, 2016 on Niagara At Large
Niagara, Ontario – Carla Carlson, the owner of Niagara Nature Tours is very excited to let people know that they will be conducting their fourth annual day time owl prowl.
“We have worked very hard to find the locations of wild owls for us to see, and are hoping to see three to four native species this year.”

The owls are found from Niagara West through to Fort Erie.
For the very first Owl Prowl in 1998, we had 21 people sign up. We saw four species and seven owls in total, which is fabulous because of how secretive they are.
Since we were able to start conducting them again in 2013, at least 327 people have seen 5- 6 species and on one memorable day, 13 individual owls. In the past we have seen Eastern Screech, Northern Saw-whet, Snowy, Long-eared, Short-eared and a Great Horned Owl on her nest. Continue reading
