In this presentation Dody Wyman shares photos, videos, and narrative highlights of her more than 35 years working with these amazing birds of prey. Unfortunately, many encounter the dangers of interacting with human beings, and suffer life-altering injuries. We will have an opportunity to learn about injuries requiring rehabilitation, and the difficult decisions encountered during treatment and care. We will also delight in some of the success stories, and learn first-hand how these very special birds parent, interact, hunt, eat, and relate to our environment. With a little bit of luck, we may have a couple of special winged guests join us at the end of class.

In conjunction with Michigan Avian Experience.

Wyman found her passion for working with raptors when her life’s journey brought her to the world of wildlife rehabilitation. She has been both a rehabilitator and an educator with un-releasable injured birds. She has presented many papers on the subject at national and international conferences, and has represented the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council at a panel on wildlife rehabilitation standards at the Department of the Interior.
