Birds of prey at EagleFest

NARROWSBURG — A presentation of live eagles and other birds of prey, by Bill and Stephanie Streeter of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center (DVRC), will kick off the Narrowsburg EagleFest at 10:00 a.m., on Saturday, February 16 at the Narrowsburg Central School auditorium.

DVRC, located in Milford, PA, is a tax-exempt, publicly supported membership organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and conservation of birds of prey. DVRC’s goal is to provide humane professional care for orphaned, ill and injured raptors so they can ultimately be returned to the wild, healthy and no longer dependent upon humans for survival. This goal is also accomplished by the use of public education programs, promoting increased awareness of raptors and their importance in wildlife communities.

Other scheduled events include a silent EagleFest poster auction, a presentation by Lori McKean of the Eagle Institute and a slide show by photographer Gene Weinstein. Eagle-related artwork will be displayed. For more information call 845/252-7247 or 252-7409 or visit the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce website at www.narrowsburg.org.
