Raptors and Riesling

Celebrate spring migration and welcome summer with this special party at the Sharon Audubon Center! Enjoy fine wines and delicious hors d'oeuvres, take in the beautiful view at Ford Pond, meet our majestic birds of prey up close and hear their rescue stories. Stroll the gardens, listen to birdsong, visit old friends and new under the big tent at the aviaries.  You may even witness the release of a recovered bird from our wildlife rehab clinic!

Proceeds from this event support the Sharon Audubon Center's conservation, education, and wildlife rehabilitation.
