Red Tailed Hawk at Homeplace on Green River Fall Festival

Click on headline for story with photo

By George Kolbenschlag

The beautiful Red Tailed Hawk, in the accompanying photo, is common hereabouts, but not too often seen this close-up. This fellow traveled first class in a van to the Homeplace on Green River Fall Heritage Festival Saturday.

He's a member of the Liberty Nature Center's travelling raptor show. The Nature Center is located in Somerset and gives sick and injured animals a second chance at life.



Most are healed and released back into the wild, but some, like this hawk, have injuries that would not allow them to survive in the wild so they are given resident visas to stay at the Nature Center and help educate us on the value of their species.

This hawk and his friends were a major attraction at the festival. Homeplace on Green River has a spring festival and plow day scheduled for April 22, 2017 and will have similar exhibitions and family things to do that day.
