Learn to identify hunters of the sky

“Hunters of the Sky,” a program featuring live birds of prey, will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28, at the Village Commons at the Crossroads in Cashiers.

The program, by Michael Skinner of Balsam Mountain Trust, is part of the Village Nature Series. This is a rare opportunity to learn about the Bald Eagle, Peregrine falcon, and other birds of prey.

Before working at Balsam Mountain Trust, Skinner was the Emmy nominated host of “Georgia Outdoors” on Georgia Public Television. He is an experienced field ecologist, naturalist, nature photographer and environmental educator.

The event is free. The Village Nature Series is the result of collaboration between two local non-profits: Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and the Village Green. www.hicashlt.org or www.villlagegreencashiersnc.com.
