What is the difference between a hawk and a falcon? Do we have vultures in Maine? What is our smallest owl? What is our largest hawk? Where do they live? Using their amazing live non-releasable bird ambassadors, posters, and hands-on materials, the Center for Wildlife (CFW) will discuss the kinds of birds of prey found in Maine, their habitats, habits, place in the food chain, and why we need to protect them. This program will connect the audience with these beautiful ambassadors of their species as well as provide their natural and personal histories and empower audience members to help to steward the environment we all share.

Nestled at the base of Mount Agamenticus in Cape Neddick for 33 years, CFW has treated over 50,000 injured and orphaned wild animals and presented programming to thousands of community members annually. CFWs vision is to instill a sense of understanding, responsibility, and compassion for our natural world leading to a society connected to nature and empowered to take action, and we do this through conservation medicine, environmental education, community empowerment, and advocacy.

York County Audubon, a partner of the Wells Reserve, is proud to host CFW for this program, as they (and the Wells Reserve) have long supported their work. The program will be presented in-person, and will be preceded by a short York County Audubon annual meeting. We hope you can join us!
