The summer’s blistering temperatures are behind us and
Fall is in the air. The leaves are
beginning to turn and pumpkins are appearing on front porches. It’s time to get out and enjoy the
beautiful Fall weather. What does
all this mean for the World Bird Sanctuary? You guessed it—Open House 2012 is just around the corner!
The theme for this year’s Open House is “Wings Around The
World”, featuring new birds never before seen at Open House programs!
Programs this year will feature a flying Bateleur Eagle, a
flying Tawny Owl, a beautiful King Vulture, and a snake wrangling Red-legged
Seriema. In addition we will have
old favorites such as flying Hawks, a flying Bald Eagle, Falcons, Owls – and
more.
The Butterfly House will join us this year with a special
activity for the youngsters—a “Bug Detective” program.
In addition, there will be behind-the-scenes tours of our
breeding barn, animal behavioral and training center, and wildlife
hospital.
And there will be free fun craft centers and activities for the kids. Our in-house band, The Raptor Project will be on site to entertain with their original songs about some of the wildlife you will encounter.
Have your photo taken with one of our live birds of prey
For a small fee our
photographer will be taking photos of guests posing with a live bird of
prey. And there will be free fun craft centers and activities for the kids. Our in-house band, The Raptor Project will be on site to entertain with their original songs about some of the wildlife you will encounter.
Just one of our free kids' activities--make a craft to take home with you
Bring a picnic lunch or take advantage of our concession
stands. Be sure to bring your
camera as there will be photo opportunities at every turn.
The main paths in our triangle area are now paved and
handicapped accessible, and restrooms are conveniently nearby, but be sure to
wear comfortable walking shoes as you will want to explore all the attractions
that will be spread out throughout our site. For those more adventurous souls we have several hiking
trails that wind through our oak/hickory forest and are natural and
unpaved.
