Mary-Beth Kaeser of Horizon Wings, a State-licensed wildlife rehabilitator, will talk with us about what it means to be a “threatened” or “endangered” species. Learn about what caused the drastic decline of the Peregrine Falcon populations in North America in the 1960’s and ways we can help promote bird survival today. She will introduce us to some of the birds currently in her care, e.g. an American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, Northern Saw-Whet Owl, Barn Owl, and Eagle.
