When wild birds are found injured, Avian Haven Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center in Freedom, Maine is there to help. The winter of 2015 has been a busy season at Avian Haven, with new admissions of eagles, owls, waterfowl, and songbirds. Laura will talk about the day-to-day operations of the center, how animals recuperate, and ways that the general public can help birds in Maine.
Suomi-Lecker is the Technical Director at Somerset County Soil and Water Conservation District, where she does a variety of bird-related education and outreach. She is also a long-time volunteer for Avian Haven.
The Winter Talk series is co-sponsored by Allen Insurance & Financial, and Farley & Son Landscaping. Tuesday Talks are open to the public for $5, with free admittance for Merryspring members.
Merryspring is a member-supported, non-profit nature education center and park located at the end of Conway Road just off Rt. 1 by the Hannaford shopping plaza in Camden. For more information, call Merryspring at 236-2239, email info@merryspring.org or visit our website at www.merryspring.org.
