Wingmasters Presentation
Wingmasters is a partnership of two people dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American Birds of Prey. Julie Ann Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor rehabilitators. Together they care for injured birds of prey. Most of the birds can ultimately be released back into the wild, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. Julie and Jim are further licensed to provide a home for these raptors and use them for educational purposes. Join Julie and Jim and their “flock” for an educational lecture on our winged friends.
