Liberty Wildlife makes its annual visit on March 11, bringing a selection of birds of prey for us to meet.
Liberty Wildlife is a raptor rescue, rehab, education and conservation organization located on the banks of the Salt River between 24th and 28th Streets in Phoenix (just south of I-10). For 40 years Liberty has been a source of healing for birds and other animals in the Valley. The facility includes a full veterinary hospital, ICU, orphan care and outdoor rehab mews for the more than 10,000 birds per year it serves. Animals that recover fully are released back to the wild. Those who cannot go free due to injuries or behavior become education ambassadors or foster parent to orphans. The facility is fully non-profit and operates on admissions, grants, gifts and the generosity of 2-300 volunteers. It receives no government funding.
Educators from Liberty will bring birds out on glove and tell us their stories as well as their natural histories. Photos are allowed. This is a great event for kids!
We meet at the Southeast Regional Library, corner of Guadalupe and Greenfield Roads, Gilbert. Come at 6:00 to chat with friends and shop our bookstore. The speaker will begin at 7.
Our speakers are offered on Zoom, but if you are in Phoenix we encourage you to attend this one in person!
If you cannot attend in person the speaker also will be available live on Zoom. Register here to receive the Zoom link.
