We finally made it to the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey up in Maitland (it's actually in little downtown Eatonville) so the kids could give their donation. Because we had five rambuncious 7-8 year olds and 2 toddlers, we just did the guided self-tour. Good idea. We walked the beautiful outdoor paths at our own pace and referred to the color booklet with info on bird type, the story of their rescue and what normal life would be like (region they are from, what they eat, etc.) had they not needed rescue. We saw osprey, peregrine falcons, bald eagles, various owls, carcaras, kites and hawks. Most of the birds we saw will stay there for life as their injuries were too severe to be realeased back into the wild, but there a lots of stories of successful rehabilitation. It's a well maintained facility that's worth a visit if you have never been there!
