Birds of Prey | Environment

Anyone looking for an adventure for the family this weekend may want to check out the birds or prey at the Lowry Nature Center in the Carver Park Reserve. People are invited to the park in Victoria to see a barred owl up close and meet a captive merlin. The Raptors in the Yard event is Sunday, February 19 from 2 to 4:00 p.m.

The Lowry Nature Center has opportunities throughout the year to meet big birds and interact with nature. Bird lovers young and old are invited to participate. The other popular event is the bird banding program. People can go along with park workers as they capture, band, and release live birds. That event is set for Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
