Thursday, January 19, 2012, at 10 a.m.

at Little Falls Presbyterian Church

for a program on

Raptors (Hawks, Owls and Falcons)

presented by

Kent Knowles of The Raptor Conservancy of VA

            The birds are coming!  Raptors, to be precise.  They are bringing their friend Kent Knowles so he can tell us why raptors are valuable to gardeners, their place in our local ecosystem, and how we can help protect these beautiful birds and conserve their habitat.  In addition, we will learn about the work involved in caring for over 200 new raptor patients each year in addition to the Conservancy’s resident birds that are too handicapped to return to life in the wild.  This is your chance to see some of our native Virginia birds of prey up close and to appreciate just how magnificent and special these birds are.  And yes, these will be live birds.
