Title: Humber Aboreteum (Humber College)
Post by: Grant on November 07, 2007, 02:58:14 PM

I saw that Humber College is having an owl prowl at the Humber Aboreteum.
Has anybody been there and can tell me what it is like for birding and taking photographs??
Any information would be appreciated??

Title: Good luck.

I've birded there in the spring with fair success, not great but okay. Can't really say what it would be like for an owl prowl or what it's like now but if it is offered why not try. Photos? Well it depends on the birding but it is a nice location. The sculpted ponds on top are attractive and the Humber in the valley is wilder and has a good amount of cover/habitat. If the leader of the walk knows where there are owls, go for it.

Didnt do the owl prowel (wish I did though) but was there today, and loved the area!
