It’s hard to believe that Liberty, Audubon’s non-releasable Bald Eagle, has been at Audubon Community Nature Center for 20 years! Liberty was ACNC’s first Animal Ambassador, and her story has reached thousands of people across the region. She has inspired many who visit ACNC to learn more about eagles and their incredible recovery after being listed as an endangered species in 1978 as part of the Endangered Species Act.
Since arriving in 2002, Liberty has been one of Audubon’s most unique offerings. Most recently, she inspired the creation of the Pamela A. Westrom Wildlife Habitat which will soon house up to four non-releasable birds of prey. Audubon Community Nature Center believes that providing up-close experiences with live animals enhances educational experiences and also inspires life-long environmentalists. With the addition of these new birds, visitors will be able to compare and contrast a variety of species up close while enjoying programming. Join ACNC and some of Liberty’s new friends in the celebration! Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center will be on hand to talk about the current threats that eagles face. Children can help build an eagle sized nest, try out some life-sized eagle wings, or sit on some eagle eggs as they learn about these magnificent birds. A Bald Eagle ‘trivia trail’ will be set up that leads to ACNC’s Blue Heron Overlook. Spotting scopes and binoculars will be available for participants to use while looking out for the wild Bald Eagles that hunt on ACNC’s Big Pond.
