This afternoon presentation will discuss common reasons why birds are admitted to Avian Haven Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center in Freedom and what the public can do to help our local birds. We’ll discuss the facilities and recent cases of Avian Haven. 2021 admissions include orphaned and injured eagles, owls, hawks, loons, bitterns, herons, ducks, and many species of songbirds; Winter 2022 admissions include loons, hawks, eagles, and owls.

Laura Suomi-Lecker is the education and outreach coordinator and long-time volunteer at Avian Haven. She is also the Technical Director at Somerset County Soil and Water Conservation District, where she does a variety of bird-related programs.
