Friends of Reinstein members celebrated the holiday season while enjoying homemade chili, soups, desserts and more. Members also enjoyed a special “Birds of Prey” presentation by Messinger Woods. The wildlife care center brought a great – horned owl, barn owl, barred owl, American kestrel, peregrine falcon, and Harris’s hawk. The group of 6 volunteers shared natural history about the birds and their own unique stories about each animal. Following the presentation, members were able to talk with the volunteers from Messinger Woods and get close to the birds for pictures. Santa even got pictures with the birds and passed out candy canes to the kids! Thank you to all that attended. We hope you join us for other upcoming member-only events.
