Pre-registration is required. Join Joe Suchecki at Springbrook Prairie in Naperville to look for Short-eared Owls.  Short-eared Owls frequently winter at Springbrook Prairie and can be seen as they  come out to hunt over the preserve at dusk. Meet at the Model Aircraft Field Parking Lot  on Plainfield-Naperville Rd., south of 75th St. in Naperville. We will walk a short distance off-trail to wait for the owls to appear. Dress very warmly since we will be  standing in one place as the sun goes down. Note that the owls are generally pretty far  away and often appear just as the light is failing, so this trip does not offer a photo-op.  The trip will last about 30-40 min. Contact Joe if you plan on  attending. The owls do not always winter at Springbrook and the trips will be cancelled if  they are not around or in the event of inclement weather. Leader: Joe Suchecki, 630-369-5570
