The Raptor Conservancy of Virginia

The Raptor Conservancy of Virginia was at a local festival today here in Winchester, Va. With the help of many volunteers they rescue hundreds of raptors a year. Often as possible the birds are rehabilitated and released back to the wild. The raptors you see here are in some way not suitable for return to the wild such as bad eyes, wings, etc. They do however serve a very important purpose in education. What magnificent creatures! It was a pleasure to see these wonderful birds. Thanks to Mr. Knowles, Liz and all the RCV staff for doing what they do. For more information check out their website. RCV
