Bitterroot Audubon
November 18, 2019 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Bitterroot Audubon’s November meeting will feature a presentation on raptor rescue and rehabilitation by Brooke Tanner and Jesse Varnado from the Wild Skies Raptor Center near Potomac. These are the dedicated folks who provide rescue, veterinary care and rehabilitation services for hawks, eagles and owls injured in the Bitterroot and much of western Montana. They will discuss the history of Wild Skies and some raptor rehab stories, current educational programs and plans for the future. Many of the birds they rehabilitate are injured by vehicle, fence or window collisions, lead poisoning from consuming bullet fragments, domestic cats or intentional shootings. Many of these injuries are preventable, and Brooke and Jesse will discuss ways to reduce wildlife injuries.
The Wild Skies presentation is scheduled for Monday, November 18 at 7 p.m. at the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge Visitors’ Center on Wildfowl Lane north of Stevensville. There is no cost, and the public is invited. Contact Kay for more information, 360-8664.
