Come to the library tomorrow, Saturday, May 2nd at 1:00 p.m. for a live birds of prey presentation with award-winning bird rehabilitator, Tom Ricardi!
Tom has been rescuing and rehabbing birds of prey for decades – from eagles to hawks to vultures and owls and more. He is also passionate about ways we can help save the birds from injury and death.
This event is scheduled for indoors, but may take place outside if the weather is amenable.
This event is part of our Flight Path program, an initiative the library is participating in through the Spring. |
