The Raptors Return

Illinois Raptor Center returned to the Library on June 24 with a program on how to tell that a bird is a raptor and many interesting stories about the outdoors. The hit of the program was the bald eagle which was sponsored by my husband Doug. We learned that this magnificent bird, that was once thought doomed to extinction, is now flourishing in the wild. The symbol of our country and the freedom we cherish once again flies in the skies, even throughout parts of Illinois.
