◊The 2007-08 Kennedy Girls Hockey Team spent some time learning about raptors from Minnesota. They took a tour of the Raptor Center facility and had the opportunity to see a variety of raptors. The highlight of the experience was meeting Maxime the Eagle and her handler Kate Hanson.
◊Established in 1974, The Raptor Center specializes in the medical care, rehabilitation, and conservation of eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons. In addition to treating approximately 800 birds a year, the internationally known program reaches more than 240,000 people each year through public education programs and events, provides training in avian medicine and surgery for veterinarians from around the world, and identifies emerging issues related to raptor health and populations. The majority of its funding comes from private donations.
