Loess Hills Prairie Seminar Release

SOAR has been a part of the Loess Hills Prairie Seminar (LHPS) for many years, educating attendees about the importance of quality habitat for raptors and also natural history and biology of a raptor that can be found in the Loess Hills. Tyler talked with participants on 31 May 2015. If possible, SOAR also releases a rehabilitated raptor at the conclusion of the event, if one is ready. Thanks to Don Poggensee for the photos of the release of this female Cooper’s hawk that was rescued in Polk County in mid-April with a shoulder injury from a possible collision with a window. SOAR volunteer Tyler Flammang hands off the Cooper’s to Tom Rosburg, LHPS participant.
