Owl Observations

A park user wrote in to us about seeing a large owl in the vicinity of the Locust Street crossing. She/he writes "At dusk this evening (Jan. 9), my sons and I were amazed to see a large owl flying low across the grassy area and then perch itself for 30+ minutes in a tree where the red proposal would be built. Such a wonder of nature to observe in our park with a handful of children. It seemed that this tree may be a regular stop for this particular owl. This is the first owl I have seen during the many years I have played in the park and walked along the river. Enjoy. Peace."   If anyone else sees an owl or other unusual wildlife sightings at Schuylkill River Park, please write in to freetheriverpark@comcast.net or leave a comment here!
