Education

Looking straight into the dark eyes of a beautiful barred owl, understanding mysterious sounds of the night, learning how an American Kestrel guards its prey…..these are the things that spark an interest in nature and science. Wildlife Recovery Association brings exciting natural history programs to your doorstep for a close look at live hawks and owls in an enjoyable and informative presentation.

Learn about cavity nesting birds, hunting techniques of falcons, specialized adaptations of American Kestrels, and camouflage used by Eastern Screech Owls. Learn about the adaptations of wild hawks and owls; learn about their language, hunting habits, and niche.
