8 Dec 2024 Raptor Feathers - Seminole Audubon

Dianna Flynt, our speaker, is recently retired from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey where she was the expert on injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of over 700 raptors annually. Understanding how critical healthy feathers are to a raptor is just one aspect of the rehabilitation process. Dianna will share with us all features of feathers including function, maintenance, and the growth process. She will also include feather identification and reading the health of a bird by its feather condition. Lastly, Dianna will cover proper care of our feathered friends while in captivity which will include imping or feather repair.
