Hi I'm new to this group! My name is Stephanie and I am a raptor enthusiast. I volunteer at the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, Missouri. We are one of the largest non-profit facilities for the conservation of birds in North America. I volunteer in the education and propagation departments and we're gearing up for a busy breeding season. In fact, our barn owls have already successfully hatched 8 chicks! 5 are being raised by the parents in the nestbox for release and 3 are being hand-raised for education or zoos. We also have an augur buzzard in the process of hatching and lanner falcons on eggs. I've posted videos and pictures on our blog. If you are interested, here's the link: http://world-bird-sanctuary.blogspot.com/ I look forward to getting to know you! Stephanie P.S.
