Soar with us from the comfort of your home! Join us for a virtual celebration of Wildlife and Conservation in the Northwest Corner.
Sunday, May 30, 2021 at 5 - 6 p.m.
Every May, Sharon Audubon Center welcomes you to soar with the birds at Raptors and Riesling, celebrating our wildlife rehabilitation and conservation efforts.
This year, you can once again join us for a lively virtual visit with staff, raptors, and special guests, on May 30th. Get a peek behind the scenes, hear inside stories about our wildlife patients and resident birds, and help us celebrate the release of one or more recovered raptors back to its wild home! (We also hope to see you at aviary tours later in the season.)
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic at the Sharon Audubon Center is the only staffed facility in Northwest Connecticut that cares for injured and orphaned wildlife. Each year, your support helps Sharon Audubon Center care for hundreds of bird patients and the habitats they depend on. Raptors and Riesling is a significant part of our annual budget. Thank you for your generosity and shared dedication to nature!
