Audubon Center for Birds of Prey: Events/Programs

For more information, please email Lynne Flannery or call 407-644-0190.

Nestlings
Audubon Center for Birds of Prey

For Ages 2-5 with Parent/guardian
Parents bring out your little nestlings to explore not only birds of prey but the natural world with age appropriate activities. Programs are designed for preschoolers ages two to five accompanied by an adult. Activities will include live birds of prey encounters, crafts, stories, songs and more.

Nestlings will meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. The cost is $10.00 for the child and parent. Contact Lynne to register by phone (407-644-0190) or via email. The schedule will be as follows:

April 15: EGGstravaganza
Eggs come in all shapes and sizes and are made by many different animals. Discover what’s packed into these tiny packages and how important they are.

May 13: Raptor Babies Abound
Many of our local birds of prey are having babies this time of year. Learn who might be nesting in your yard and hopefully meet a live raptor baby.

June 10: Slimy Skins
Frogs, fish and salamanders can feel slippery and slimy to our fingers! Learn why and how important this is for life in a watery world.

TogetherGreen Volunteer Days

If you missed our kick off event, there are more opportunities to get involved and build community. TogetherGreen is a dynamic and innovative Audubon program funded by Toyota that aims to provide inspiration, leadership and opportunities that inspire people everywhere to take action at home, in their communities and beyond to improve the health of our environment.

From June 2008 through May 2009 Audubon Center for Birds of Prey will be recruiting new folks and engaging current volunteers to participate in special projects designed to improve local urban bird habitats. Projects will include building and monitoring nest boxes, cleaning the shoreline around Lake Sybelia and removing invasive, nonnative plants from our wetland. A complete schedule for events will be available soon. Let’s work together to build community—bring your neighbors and friends and gain the experience and thrill of volunteering for an important program!

All volunteer events will take place at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. Enjoy refreshments and giveaways after you lend Mother Nature a helping hand. Please register for these events. To get involved contact: Lynne via email or 407-644-0190.

May 31 – 2PM-Lakefront clean up!
Audubon Center for Birds of Prey will be hosting a community volunteer event with Eco-Action to help troll our lakefront to clean trash on foot and in canoes. Removing trash from the lakeshore significantly improves wildlife habitat by removing potential life-threatening dangers to animals. Join us for an afternoon of fun to volunteer and help build better communities. First 10 folks to sign up get choice of canoes. Contact Lynne via email or 407-644-0190.

Baby Owl Shower
Saturday, May 9, 2009 from 10:00am until 2:00pm

Join us for a day of educational opportunities and activities to celebrate Mother’s day and spring! Admission to the Center that day is free with a “baby gift” that is used in caring for these young raptors. Each year we ask for folks to pitch in with in kind donations to help offset the Center’s increased expenses during baby bird season. Won’t you help? Read on for our detailed wish list and how to get involved.
