ARC Comes to Audubon

Some of our friends from the Avian Reconditioning Center stopped by the Orange Audubon meeting this month to discuss how they help injured raptors. It was a great presentation. They also brought some nice birds to show to the crowd during the talk.

One of these birds was a recovering Barn Owl. Beautiful birds.

Finally, Paula displays a Swallow-tail Kite. Meanwhile, on the table, an American Kestrel listens on.

I have posted about the Avian Reconditioning Center several times before. We often band some of their birds before they are released back into the wild. If you are interested in reading those posts just click on the link to them at the bottom of this post.
