Pine Technical College hosts Raptor Night


The Audubon Center of North Woods in Sandstone presented an educational program, “Raptors and Environmental Change,” on Monday, April 13 at Pine Technical College. The event was the second of four Earth Month events at the College, and more than 100 attendees participated.

Three beautiful raptors, an American Kestrel, a Barred Owl and a Red-tailed Hawk, starred in the event. The presenters, Poppy and Sayako, of the Audubon Center discussed characteristics of the raptors and how environmental changes affect the habitats of birds of prey. The demonstrations were interactive and engaged audience volunteers including children, College staff and faculty members. The educated presenters of the Audubon Center skillfully answered many tough questions from the audience.

Thanks to the Audubon Center and all College staff for making Raptor Night a great success!
