Nighthunters: An Evening Owl Adventure

Join us for an exclusive after-hours encounter! Meet owls of all shapes and sizes. Birders and nature lovers will be treated to a special adventure as the sun sets over the Hudson, and nocturnal creatures come to life. 

"Early birds" can join a nature walk as the sun sets with local NYC naturalists Gabriel Willow and Ryan Mandelbaum. Listen and look as familiar daytime creatures settle down for the night and nocturnal creatures emerge. You won’t believe you’re in the Bronx! 

Falconers Brian and Teddy Bradley and their spectacular live owls headline the evening with an exciting indoor program introducing these amazing birds of prey. Feel the wind brush your face as they fly silently inches above your head and get an intimate look at their adaptations and hunting techniques. Don’t forget your cameras for incredible close-ups! 

The evening culminates in a lively round of Bird Trivia with trivia master Ryan Mandelbaum and emcee Gabriel Willow. Bring your own team or form a team here with new friends made during the evening.
