Have you ever met a falcon or a hawk?
What is the difference between a hawk and a falcon? Do we have vultures in Maine? What is our smallest owl? What is our largest hawk? Where do they live? Using the Center for Wildlife's amazing live non-releasable bird ambassadors, posters, and hands-on materials, CFW educators will discuss the kinds of birds of prey found in Maine, their habitats, habits, place in the food chain, and why we need to protect them. This hour long program will connect the audience with these beautiful ambassadors of their species as well as provide their natural and personal histories and empower audience members to help to steward the environment that we all share.
You can ask all your questions when you come meet and say hello to the Center for Wildlife falcon/hawk friends!
This is the fourth and final program of our Fall 2024 Wildlife Series, cosponsored with the Center for Wildlife. We hope you were able to attend some of the other programs. If not, you can visit these animals and more on your own (except for Coyote) at Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick.
Our Cosponsor - CENTER FOR WILDLIFE
Center for Wildlife proudly serves the New England region typically managing 2,000 patients each year (native wildlife injured because of vehicle collisions, domestic pets, pollution, fishing lines, oil spills, and other human-related causes), representing more than 190 species of birds, reptiles, and mammals. The goal of their wildlife clinic is to not only medically treat and provide rehabilitation to injured wild animals so that they can be released back to the wild but also use data collected to better support broad systemic change.
For over 20 years, Center for Wildlife has also provided environmental education outreach programs bringing live animal ambassadors to schools, libraries, state parks, senior centers, professional conferences, and many other venues. Their Project Wild educators now provide a unique learning experience to over 13,000 individuals each year and enjoys partnerships with local groups committed to environmental education.
