Raptors

On June 19, the Carolina Raptor Center (CRC) came out to the park. This was one of three times they will come out this year. I was able to get a grant from the Friends of State Parks and secure the visits as part of our celebration of the year of birds!

The CRC brought a red-tailed hawk (right)
and a barred owl (left).

The CRC is a rescue and education organization
andyou can visit their site in Mecklenburg County,
it's pretty neat!
