In this first installment of our 2023 SEWE Spotlight series we sit down with Vice President/Director of The Center for Birds of Prey & Education, Mr. Stephen Shabel to discuss the important work that the Center for Birds of Prey and the Avian Conservation Center are doing to help conserve habitat and birds of prey species. We go in depth on a number of unique birds of prey species and get an opportunity to see an amazing bird up close and personal! 

Topics Discussed: The purpose and mission of the Avian Conservation Center and the Center for Birds of Prey. Issues impacting the future of various species of birds of prey, most notably vehicle collisions, poisoning, gun shot wounds and habitat loss. What you can do to help if you find a bird that is hurt or injured. What makes an owl so quiet when they fly. Why vultures are so important to the ecosystem and cleanliness and intelligence of vultures that often surprises people. Migration and nesting habits of the Ospreys and Bald Eagles. Unique characteristics of various types of hawks and falcons. A close up look at our first live animal on the show, a crested caracara! Watching her reaction to a caracara call. Interesting details about the biology and physical characteristics of the caracara. How birds like the caracara help the Center for Birds of Prey educate and spread awareness about issues impacting birds of prey and what we can do as a community to help.
