Three Rivers Avian Center's "Wings of
Wonder" program is an annual interpretative program presented at many of West
Virginia's state parks and forests. Recent weather disruptions have created the
need to reschedule a few of the birds of prey programs that had been scheduled
this summer.
"Owls, hawks and eagles are birds of prey. People, youth and adults
have a genuine interest in learning about their habits and to see some up
close," said Sissie Summer, programmer with the West Virginia State Parks
system. "We are fortunate that TRAC has been able to reschedule a number of
their appearances that bad weather had forced them to cancel."
Everyone is welcome to attend the TRAC programs, which are appropriate
for all ages and are free to attend. For additional information about TRAC,
visit www.tracwv.org. Times vary from park to park. To confirm the exact location for the
program of the remaining Wings of Wonder - Birds of Prey presentation, call the
park directly.
Other events and activities at West Virginia's state parks are posted
online at www.wvstateparks.com.
