About
Meet four rehabilitated raptors – and one groundhog – up close and personal! The birds of prey will include one or more species of owl, hawk, vulture and/or falcon. Learn how each bird had been injured & rehabilitated by the Rescue Center – to become a wildlife ambassador that helps us humans learn how raptors live in the wild and help us coexist with them. You’ll also meet education animal Allen McButterpants, a groundhog who is very popular with children!
