Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center is home to a variety of hawks, owls, eagles, vultures, and falcons — a group of birds known as raptors.
All of the raptors arrived from rehabilitation centers with permanent disabilities. Shaver’s Creek has federal permits to house the birds, and have them work alongside conservation educators as ambassadors for their wild counterparts. Stop by to watch a training session, observe a vulture displaying natural foraging behavior, or see a Golden Eagle tearing up items for her enrichment.
Check ShaversCreek.org for details on public programs where you may get up close looks at the birds out of their enclosures and ask questions of interpreters.
