Mid-county Injured Bird Drop-off @
Falcon Batchelor Bird of Prey Center
|
|
|
The
Falcon Batchelor Bird of Prey Center continues to occupy its original space at the otherwise-closed Miami Museum of Science across from Vizcaya. It accepts injured native birds of every feather from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Birds of prey are rehabilitated on site, while song birds and shore birds are relocated to an appropriate care facility.
Completion of the eagerly anticipated Batchelor Environmental Center is expected within the year. At that time, the Bird of Prey Center will migrate to the expansive new digs being built at FIU's Biscayne Bay campus.

Chill Out @ The Frost &
drink in Nature all summer long
Monday-Sunday, 9am-6pm
|
|
|
The recently opened Frost Museum of Science in downtown Miami offers much to explore within its cool, high-tech confines. Birders will be particularly wowed by The Batchelor Foundation's "Feathers to the Stars" exhibition, which follows the astounding story of flight — from winged dinosaurs, to brilliant feats of human ingenuity and the future of space travel. "River of Grass" presented by the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust introduces junior naturalists to the mysterious wetlands ecosystem, taking them on a journey that reveals why the Everglades is one of the most precious places on the planet. In an outdoor setting that crowns the stunning 4-story aquarium, injured birds of prey are being rehabilitated as part of an exhibit that recreates "natural" South Florida habitats. It also includes juvenile crocs and gators, a gopher tortoise, mangrove trees and a specimen gumbo-limbo.
