Raptors coming to Libby Dam!
There will be two lectures, the first at 11 a.m. and the second at 12:30 p.m.
Ms. Fink has nursed injured wild birds of prey back to health and reintroduced to the wild endangered raptors such as ospreys and peregrine falcons. She travels with live specimens to educate the public about their ecological value, and the challenges they face.
She will bring several live hawks, owls, eagles and falcons with her to Libby Dam Visitor Center for the 10 a.m. demonstration. There will be an educational presentation and opportunities to see the birds and ask questions.
For the safety of the birds, handler and audience, Please, no photography during the presentations! Also to ensure safety of the birds, we will be capping attendance based on the number of seats available.
