Raptor presentation coming to Highlands
One of the Southeast’s premier raptor presentations, “Wings to Soar,” will bring birds of prey to the old gym of the Highlands School in what is described as an entertaining and informative program at 7 p.m. on May 26.
John Stokes and Dale Kernahan are professional presenters at Rock City during the summer, late spring and early fall and will provide a fun-filled evening designed to entertain and educate about nature and birds of prey such as eagles, hawks, owls and falcons.
Long associated with the “Eagle Lady,” Doris Mager, both John and Dale are creating their own legacy with Wings to Soar. They have been deeply involved in the rehabilitation of a variety of birds of prey, including an American Bald Eagle who lost a wing and is now involved in their educational programs. Also, restoration of peregrine falcons has been a cooperative endeavor with Rock City where seven captive hatched falcons have been released into the wild.
Event is free and is provided for all adults and children in Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire, Toxaway and surrounding areas. It is a part of Mountain Wildlife Days Outreach and is being co-sponsored by the Highlands Plateau Audubon Society.
