Did you know raptors, such as hawks, owls, Bald Eagles and osprey, play a vital role in Florida’s ecosystem? The health of these birds is crucial to our environment. Join Dr. Daisy Fiore from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey for an up-close look at some of Florida’s native raptors and learn how you can help make your spaces more bird friendly this Earth Day.
