At a nearby park, tucked away along a rather rough, unpaved road, is a rehabilitation center for raptors. Raptors are...hawks, and eagles, and vultures, that kind of bird.
Today I loaded the kids up and we went on a field trip. The raptors are either being rahabbed or are not physically able to live out in the wild.
It was a great trip, really. We didn't see another soul there...it was just me and 8 kids watching birds under a gray, autumnal sky.
The birds live in surprisingly spacious cages. The cages are the wooden structures on the right.
Gotta LOVE those vultures. Seriously, they are not the most attractive birds in the world, but they have a definite purpose! It is a GOOD thing that they clean up dead animal debris.
Help me out here. Bald eagle? Are their bald eagles in Ohio?
