Close encounters with birds of prey

eet birds of prey up close on March 21
when Elachee Nature Science Center in
Gainesville presents Raptor Fest.
"This is a wonderful chance for families to
learn about native raptors and birds of prey," says
Mallory Pendleton, education programs manager
at Elachee. "Even if you think you know all about
hawks, eagles, owls and other raptors, you'll
probably learn something new."
A big takeaway for visitors is learning about
vultures. The event will showcase two types:
turkey vultures and black vultures.
"These birds always get no respect, but
they are really cool birds," she says. "And they are
incredibly important to our environment and
ecosystem."
