This event will feature a classroom session on Owls of New Jersey, taught by a Raptor Trust instructor, and will not be open to the general public on a walk-in basis. The session will provide an in-depth look at the lives of these interesting and often misunderstood nocturnal birds of prey. In this program, we will discuss and show all New Jersey species, including some of the less-known winter visitors.
The classroom session will last approximately 60 minutes and it will be followed by a self-guided walking tour of the facilities. The Raptor Trust is a large, well-maintained complex consisting of a medical infirmary, and some 70 exterior cages and aviaries containing over 130,000 cubic feet of space. All are designed to accommodate the many recuperating birds that will be released, as well as the birds that permanently reside at the facility. Visitors to the Trust are afforded a unique opportunity to view many of these permanent residents at close range. The Raptor Trust is one of the premier wild bird rehabilitation centers in the United States, a stalwart advocate for birds of prey for three decades and recognized as a national leader in the fields of raptor conservation and avian rehabilitation.
Cost for this event:
