Avian Ambassadors of Birdsacre

Raptors are ultimate athletes that need nearly perfect bodily function to survive in the wild.  Despite expert medical care by wildlife rehabilitators, some injured raptors remain too physically compromised to release. Permanently incapacitated raptors at Birdsacre in Ellsworth are occasionally trained to serve as Avian Ambassadors. Join the Director of Birdsacre, Grayson Richmond, for an insider’s look at what it takes to prepare a wild bird of prey for public education appearances. Whether it’s an owl, vulture, or hawk, each bird has its own unique journey. This is their story! Please note, there will be no live animals at this presentation.
