The Full Moon Owl Prowl at The Jacksonville Arboretum 1/10/09

Saturday night The Jacksonville Arboretum had a Full Moon Owl Prowl. It was basically a mile walk through the the trails of the Arboretum at night. The event was a RSPV event that reached capacity early in the week. There was about 70 people, we broke up in 3 groups and were lead through the woods in the dark by an Arboretum tour guide. The moon was abnormally full, the crickets were out, we didn't see any large animals. the whole experience was different and delightful. I do wish since we didn't see any animals or owls we could have taken the trip with our flash lights on and able to speak so we could have asked questions and hear the guide. But hey, it was a owl prowl, not a night walk. All the pictures were taken without a flash only moon lit, except a few. For more info check The Jacksonville Arboretum.
