LATINO CONSERVATION WEEK

The Center for Birds of Prey team hosted two events to celebrate the Latino community community getting outdoors: Cuentos con Susie, a special Storytime with Susie the American Kestrel in Spanish on September 21; and in partnership with Orange Audubon Society, a Bilingual Bird Walk at the Orlando Wetlands on September 22.

A CLIMATE-FRIENDLY BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON

Back to school can be a hectic time: buying new clothes, school supplies, and lunch materials, deciding how to get to and from school, and so much more. All of these decisions have impacts on our climate, but the choices we make can mitigate the effects of climate change.

On September 28, the Center hosted a Back-to-School Bird Bash to teach families about the many small switches people can make to have an earth-friendly school year. Admission to the event was free with the purchase of an item from the Center's wish list.

OWL PROWL

On October 11, visitors will celebrate spooky season with an after-hours tour featuring the Center's creatures of the night! This family-friendly evening of owl education features up-close encounters with native Florida owl species, a presentation on owls and how to find them in the wild, and a walking tour in the dark to encounter the Center's owls as they awaken for the night. Halloween costumes are encouraged at this themed event, which also includes themed crafts, games, and activities.

Owl Prowl tickets have sold out! The Center for Birds of Prey looks forward to additional events in the coming months.

In order to "bend the bird curve" and reverse declines in the hemisphere's birds, Audubon knows that bringing people together to appreciate and understand birds at places like the Center for Birds of Prey is the first step in inspiring them to take action.
