If you think wandering the woods at night is just for scary movies, think again. Follow Hamilton County park ranger and naturalist John Laird on an evening hike through Briggs Woods Park in Webster City Nov. 2 and enjoy some nighttime nature.
During the “Owl Prowl & Stargazing Night Hike,” hikers will learn to use binoculars and flashlights to observe different stars, constellations, planets, orbiting satellites and the moon, and discover the kinds of owls that call Briggs Woods home. At the end of the hike, rangers will try to call some owls out of the shadows to say hello.
