Live Birds of Prey Presentation by
Wingmasters
Oct 3
1-1:45 and 3-3:45 pm
Free.
WINGMASTERS is a partnership of two people
dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American
birds of prey. Julie Anne Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor
rehabilitators based in Massachusetts. Together they care for injured birds of
prey. Most of the birds they rehabilitate can ultimately be released back into
the wild, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. Julie
and Jim are further licensed to provide a home for these nonreleasable raptors,
and to use them for educational programs. Since 1994 WINGMASTERS has presented
over 5000 programs at schools, libraries and museums throughout New
England.
