"Christine's Critters" Birds of Prey Event

Join us for an exciting and memorable experience for all at the Lake Waramaug State Park Pavilion. Free. All Ages Welcome. Sponsored by the Lake Waramaug Association.

This 1-hour event will feature 5-6 live birds of prey (hawks, owls, and falcons). The birds were all injured in the wild here in CT and have not recovered enough for release. They have been entrusted to Christine’s Critters by the USFWS to enhance their educational programs. The birds can teach us a variety of lessons including how to be better stewards of our local environment through environmental action and how to help prevent some of the common injuries to these raptors that are caused by mankind.

Christine’s Critters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that rescues and rehabilitates more than 100 injured raptor patients each year in an attempt to heal their injuries for release. Their educational programs fund their wildlife rehabilitation program and allow the purchase of food, medical supplies, and veterinary care for their patients. Please note: Due to federal regulations, the birds cannot be touched by members of the public.
