In the evening, listen to owl calls and use recordings to attract a screech owl. Spend the night on bunk beds in the Ashland Lodge (heated of course!) Meet birders who are participating in Delaware’s Breeding Bird Atlas, and learn how your family can help. You will be contacted regarding packing list and food items to bring.
