This week, in conjunction with studying Flying Creatures, we took a field trip to Audubon Birds of Prey Sanctuary.This center is unique because they take injured Birds of Prey (Raptors - Eagles, Falcons and Owls), rehabilitate them and then if possible, release them back into the wild. The birds that are not able to be released become welcomed members of the sanctuary.
