🌳🦅BRUKNER NATURE CENTER’S SILENT WINGS TRAIL ADVENTURE
When: From now through Sunday, Jan. 31
Just as the coldest temperatures set in across the Miami Valley, owls begin their breeding season — meaning that owl sightings on the trails surrounding Brukner Nature Center will be much more frequent in the coming weeks. Through the end of January, guests are encouraged to search the trails for three owl cutouts that will be “watching over the forest.” If you’re able to snag a photo or two of the owls, be sure to email the photos to info@bruknernaturecenter.com to see your photos on Brukner Nature Center’s Facebook or Instagram accounts.
