Silverwood After Sunset: Owls, Moths, and more!

Friday, July 24th, 2026 starting at 6:30 PM

In June 2025, San Diego Bird Alliance hosted the first Silverwood After Sunset! We are back for another summer evening event!

While you have explored its beauty in the daytime, a whole new crew of critters comes out to play when it gets dark. Several volunteers will help lead participants through different outings, including owls and moths. Explore with the different volunteers throughout the night and learn how to respect and care for the animals that need Silverwood to thrive.

To ensure space, we highly recommend that you carpool with others if possible!

Our event will start at 6:30 PM, an hour before sunset. We will run for about 2 hours after sunset and hope to find numerous species of noctural insects and owls...and more! Plan to arrive at Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary at 13003 Wildcat Canyon Road Lakeside CA 92040 by 7:30 to be sure you can be to the observation deck by dark. Park in the dirt lot right after the entrance to the preserve. Volunteers will meet you in the parking lot to bring you up to the observation deck where our activities will begin!

Registration required, 30 participant maximum
