About Winter Solstice Owl Prowl at Lyman Reserve

Celebrate the longest night of the year with a Winter Solstice Owl Prowl! On this special evening, we’ll explore the fascinating world of owls that breed in Massachusetts, learning how to identify their calls, where to find them, and how they hunt under the cover of darkness. We will take our skills to the trail and listen for owls on the paths of Lyman Reserve.

The Winter Solstice offers a unique moment to embrace the changing of the seasons as nature transitions into its winter rhythm. While we’ll keep our ears tuned and eyes peeled for the elusive owls that call this area home, nature doesn’t always follow a script, so sightings or sounds are not guaranteed. Along the way, we’ll also be on the lookout for other creatures of the night that thrive after dark. Tthis immersive nighttime experience is an exciting opportunity to connect with the wonders of the natural world.

First time at Lyman? Lyman’s one-and-a-half-mile loop trail winds its way from the parking lot to Red Brook, inviting deeper exploration of the reserve’s freshwater wetlands, pine barrens, and sandy beach; a quarter-mile trail across Head of the Bay Road provides a scenic jaunt through maritime scrub oak and pine to the beach. On this hike, you will enjoy the scenic routes as the sun sets before nature’s transition to night, when we will let stars and ‘hoots’ be our guide.
