Birds of Prey Demonstration.

The BRNN`s first event of 2019 was on Tuesday, February 12, 5:30 -7:00 at the West Asheville Public Library. Michael Skinner, Balsam Mountain Trust’s Executive Director gave a live birds of prey demonstration. This event was also sponsored in part by Friends of West Asheville Library. Michael`s companions were a screech owl, red-tailed hawk, barn owl and an eagle. It was a fun and informative evening!
