DERBY - The Naugatuck Valley Audubon Society in cooperation with Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection announces a program for the entire family at the Kellogg Environmental Center 1 p.m. May 15.
Come join us to learn about A Place Called Hope, a Raptor Rehabilitation and Education Center for Birds of Prey.
This nonprofit organization, located in Killingworth, is run by volunteers who specialize in rescue, rehabilitation, re-nesting, and release of birds of prey within Connecticut.
Their goal is always to reunite wildlife into the natural world.
The program will include two live diurnal and two nocturnal birds of prey. You will see birds, rehabilitated from injuries too severe for release, which have become educational birds. You will learn about their habitat along with tips on how to lessen human conflicts.
After the presentation participants will take a walk through the Osborne Homestead Museum gardens and, if time allows, a bird walk across the street at Osbornedale State Park where NVAS maintains bluebird houses.
