World Bird Sanctuary is proud to be part of International Vulture Awareness Day 2009.
The Birds of Prey Working Group of EWT in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England are proud to host the first International Vulture Awareness Day. Organizations in Africa, Europe, the Americas and South-Asia
are celebrating this day with a variety of events worldwide.
Vulture Awareness Day aims to create greater awareness of vultures and to highlight the important work done by the world’s vulture conservationists. Each participating organization will organize activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness.
If you are near St. Louis, come to World Bird Sanctuary on Saturday September 5th where we have vulture exhibits, and you can meet Turk, our resident Turkey Vulture in our Amazing Animal Encounter programs at 11.30am and 2pm. If you aren't in the St. Louis area, click here to find out what is happening near you.
Apart from the events that will take place worldwide, the public will be able to participate in a virtual event. Join the worldwide Vulture Blog Festival virtual event by sharing your favorite vulture memory with us. Create a memento for Vulture Awareness Day or tell us your story and send us a photo. You can email us your story or photo and we'll post it here on 12 September!

I missed it. I'm sorry for that/vultures are cool and in the midwest (St. Louis) you seem them all of the time - until the eagles come back home.
