Birds, Beasts, Brats & Beer!

Tonight from 6 - 8:30 p.m. is an annual event developed by the Nature League which showcases the Ralph Perkins II Wildlife Center & Woods Garden and the creatures that inhabit it. Birds, Beasts, Brats & Beer is a casual evening with food, drinks, and entertainment in the form of live animal feeding, training, and enrichment demonstrations by the Wildlife Resources staff. Plan on seeing bobcat, fox, raccoon, and river otter demos as well as behind-the-scenes tours of the Raptor Center. Staff and trained volunteers will also be circulating with various birds of prey on gloves to invite intimate viewing opportunities. More information can be found here:
