Wayne/Susquehanna R.E.S.C.U.E. will host its annual public meeting on Wednesday, August 9, 7 p.m. at the Wayne County Visitors Center in downtown Honesdale, PA. This year’s feature presentation is by Bill and Stephanie Streeter, wildlife biologists and founders of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center (DVRC), a not-for-profit rehabilitation center in Milford, PA. “Close Encounters with Birds of Prey” will feature five live raptors, including a hawk, a falcon, two owls, and an eagle. The Streeters will discuss various issues facing wildlife today including predator/prey relationships, wildlife rehabilitation, and specific adaptations of the birds present. Most of the birds treated at the center are returned to the wild. However, due to the severity of their injuries, some birds are unable to survive in the wild and must remain in captivity. These birds become an important element in DVRC educational programs, offering both young and old a joyful and unforgettable experience. This event is free and open to all ages. For more information contact (570) 798-2530.
