  • Ages Family Program
    OCTOBER 2018 Kitsap Audubon Society – Since 1972 KingfisherTHE Oct. 11, 2018, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. - Poulsbo Library Live Raptors - All Ages family program Docents from West Sound Wildlife Shelter will once again bring us a couple of their charming wildlife ambassadors for an informative family-friendly program: this time a Red-tailed Hawk and a Western Screech Owl. These “live raptor” programs appeal to all ages, and especially children. So bring the whole family! When injured or orphaned wildlife are brought to the shelter, they are treated, rehabilitated and released back into the wild whenever possible. But sometimes they are too impaired to survive in the wild and become special ambassadors for the shelter’s fascinating educational outreach programs. The programs reach out to people of all ages to encourage responsible actions toward wildlife and their habitat, and develop the wildlife stewards of tomorrow. The purpose of these programs is to create a direct connection with wildlife that will help educate the public about protecting wild animals and their habitats, and how to coexist peacefully with the Red-tailed Hawk photo local wildlife. Our adult-oriented programs also by Don Willott. provide information and advice about humanely resolving conflicts with nuisance wildlife. Western Screech Owl To learn more about these programs, photo by Gene Bullock contact West Sound Wildlife Shelter at [email protected]. Thank you One Call For All We are especially grateful to our 300+ members and friends on Bainbridge Island who each year designate Kitsap Audubon for a generous portion of their ONE CALL FOR ALL donation.
