[August 03, 2007]  DECATUR -- Illinois Raptor Center's Adult Raptor Camp registration is open. The camp will be the weekend of Aug. 11-12, from noon to 4 p.m. each day, in IRC's outdoor classroom pavilion.

Participants will be introduced -- up close and personal -- to four families of live birds of prey (hawks, owls, falcons and eagles), raptor identification, natural history, predation, mortality, populations, intelligence, instincts, habitat, rehabilitation, laws, education, falconry, falconry equipment and raptor handling.

Participants must be over 18 years of age.

The cost is $95 per person, which includes pictures, materials and an experience of a lifetime.

To receive information, a registration form and directions to the IRC through an e-mail, contact illinoisraptorcenter@insightbb.com or phone 217-963-6909.

Seating is limited.

The Illinois Raptor Center is a 15-acre conservation education facility and rehabilitation center for birds of prey. Since 1994, the center has been located at 5695 W. Hill Road, Decatur, IL 62522. Because the center is a wildlife hospital, it is open only during scheduled events.
