Meet one of our most agile neighbors of the sky: the Cooper&rsquo;s Hawk.&nbsp; In this session, you&rsquo;ll get an up-close look at this common resident of urban and suburban backyards. These ambush predators are as striking in their looks as they are adept at taking down other birds for a meal. &nbsp;We look forward to you flap-flap-gliding your way to this event!&nbsp; Your registration supports real rehabilitation and conservation work&mdash;from medical care to daily handling and education. Join us to see how your contributions help protect native raptors across Illinois.&nbsp;

Your registration greatly helps our mission.&nbsp; When you arrive at the IRC property, make your way to the basement door on the back side (South side) of the brown house. &nbsp;If you park in front of the house, you can use the ramp to walk to that entrance. &nbsp;The ramp, entry, and presentation space are all handicap accessible. If you park in front of the animal hospital, follow the paths through the prairie to the East and make your way to the back of the brown house.&nbsp; Travis&nbsp;illinois.raptors@gmail.com
