Event Details
The Friends group of Cumberland Mtn State Park (CMSP) is bringing back the popular Wings to Soar raptor educational program Sunday Nov. 9 at the Recreation Lodge with two shows: 1:30 and 3pm. The addition of a second showing to this family friendly free event will hopefully take care of the increased number of those attending!
The birds fly overhead so late entry is not permitted. Space is limited so seating is on a first come, first served basis.
“Wings to Soar’s mission is to create awareness of the vital role birds of prey play in nature” said Laurie Snyder of the Friends group. “The program provides a unique view of the birds because they fly over the audience’s heads. Co-directors John stokes and Dale Kernahan hope to spark curiosity and create a sense of value for all forms of life” she added.
The educational program may include raptors such as a bald eagle, barn owl, American kestrel, screech owl, red-tailed hawk, vulture and the popular albino white owl. Photos with the albino owl are permitted at the end of the program!
Wings to Soar is headquartered in Rock City, GA. Learn more about the wounded birds they care for at soarsouth.org or call 423-605-8917.
