Guests at the Scott Aquarium here will get an up-close and personal look at live eagles, hawks and falcons at 7 p.m. Friday, April 20. Auburn University's Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center will present a program on birds of prey.
Admission is free.
The program will be in the auditorium at the Aquarium. They are among the first sentinels for the environment. Crowe said rehabilitation center personnel will display several non-releasable birds of prey during the program, including a variety of eagles, hawks and falcons. Located at Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine, the rehabilitation center has developed into one of the nation's foremost facilities dedicated to birds of prey. Crowe said its mission is to rehabilitate injured or orphaned raptors, educate the public and scientific community, and research new aspects of raptor biomedicine.
