And our Silent Wings Raptor Event was awesome and spectacular! We learned all about respecting our wild feathered friends, when to report an injured bird or animal and who to report it to, what it takes to host an injured raptor, what they eat, how they hunt, the different calls or hoots and why they fly silently. We were treated to up close and personal visits with five birds of prey. Many great questions were asked and all answered by the expert Silent Wings staff. A big thank you to Sonya and Karen for making all the arrangements and baking the tasty (and cute!) cookies. Here are just a few of the many pictures that were snapped. All of the birds were regal looking and beautiful!
