For the past decade I've seen the random signs for "Birds of Prey" throughout the Winter Park/Maitland area. I found myself with an extra hour recently so I decided to steer my car in the direction of the signs and check it out. Founded in 1979 in Maitland, FL, the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey has treated over 12,000 injured or orphaned birds of prey (raptors), releasing more than 40% of these former patients back into the wild. The Center handles the largest volume of eagles, owls, falcons, hawks, and kites east of the Mississippi River--averaging more than 650 admissions, or injured or orphaned birds of prey, each year—and is a leader among all North American rehabilitation centers for specialized eagle care.
Basically I did the self-guided tour where you are able to see all sorts of raptors such as owls, hawks, bald eagles and falcons. The owls were my favorite - I love watching them blink their eyes one at a time.
