Horizon Wings is a non-profit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center specializing
in Birds of Prey. All of our funding is provided by
educational programs and donations.
Horizon Wings has several raptors which we are unable to release back into the wild due to their injuries. Fortunately we are able to keep these birds at our center and, with a special permit, use them for educational programs.
EARTH DAY 2012
Horizon Wings is happy to announce our 3rd annual Earth Day Fair to be held on Saturday April 28th, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Admission is a donation of $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for children, and free to children under 5 years old.
This year’s event will feature the following:
- 11:00am – 11:45am, a formal program featuring four of our program birds.
- 1:00pm - 1:30pm, a special story-telling featuring our Great Horned Owl, Oscar.
- Tours of our aviaries. We currently have 11 different species of raptors at our facility: American Kestrels, Peregrine Falcon, Eastern Screech Owls, Barred Owl, Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, Red Tailed Hawk, Broad Winged Hawk, Crow, Raven, Bald Eagle.
- Throughout the day, we will have some of our raptors out on glove with our volunteers so you can see them up close. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about these spectacular birds and for photographs.
- Live llama from 1:30 – 2:30.
- Face painting.
- Nature-related Arts and Crafts activity.
- Refreshments.
- Raffles.
Last year’s event was a huge success — we had an incredible turnout, and the weather was spectacular. We hope that all of you will join us again, and we hope to see many new faces. This is a great opportunity for the whole family to reconnect with nature and enjoy some of its most incredible creatures.
