Raptor Center

Some nature-loving friends took us to the California Raptor Center. The center rehabilitates injured raptors (i.e. birds of prey). The part open to the public houses raptors that can't be released due to severe injuries. The children were very interested to learn each bird's story and to watch the birds eat the lab mice and chicks left in their cages. There is a small museum with some kid-friendly displays. Of course, the big kids were very focused on a small rubber toy eagle.

We plan on heading back here for their open house May 1st.

Information:
Time spent here max 90 min
Parking and entrance is free; donations welcome
