| Spring is Here! We hope you will come on out! The birds are SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy that it has warmed up and they can finally take baths and it feels so good. With the unusually cold winter we have had it has been a while since the birds have been offered water. Callie is never shy when it comes to a "splish splash" bath. We had a really great day when we had "Growing Bolder" here to do an interview with us about how we got started, why we do what we do and some of the community services we offer using birds of prey. If you are not familiar with this great group check them out at www.growingbolder.com . It's all about attitude! As spring starts to spring, the birds start to arrive. This is the season for baby great horned owls and Gullie currently has 3 with another one due at ARC tomorrow. We have several interesting cases at ARC one of these is falconry training and evaluating a young bald eagle for possible release. Shown here flying on a "creance line", a line tied to her jesses to prevent her from flying away in these early stages of training. We can always use good volunteers at ARC, if you would like to volunteer at ARC PLEASE give us a call! We always have so much going on and we can REALLY use the help! THANK-YOU!! (407) 461-1056 |

| The Avian Reconditioning Center is a not for profit birds of prey rehabilitation and education facility. One of our main focuses is the physical reconditioning of raptors that have been inactive for an extended period of time while recovering from illness or injury. We also use falconry techniques to evaluate a bird's chances for survival in the wild after recovering from an injury and to teach young birds how to hunt. Education is a primary focus as well and we provide many education opportunities using live birds of prey. |
