Brandon Krikke 11/11/2015 One of the most anticipated assemblies of the year is coming up in less than two weeks, at Shepherd of the Hills. The Raptor Assembly is a group of people who come into schools and teach the students about the different birds from the wild. These birds are all rescued and cared for by a raptor organization, and then rehabilitated to hopefully be returned to the wild. Last year, they brought in an American Kestrel, a Great-Horned Owl, a Golden Eagle, a Falcon, and a Turkey Vulture. The favorite of the school seemed to be the Golden Eagle. We learned that the Golden Eagle will pick up sheep or goats and drop them off cliffs, and then eat them. Golden Eagles can range from Mexico, Western North America, Northeast North America, Canada, Asia and Europe. The Turkey Vulture that was brought in was hit by a car, eating road kill. Most of the birds that come to the center cannot fly, such as the Great-Horned Owl had a broken wing. The organization works with these bird to bring them back to health. The Raptor Assembly is coming to Shepherd of the Hills School on Monday, November 30. Look for more information coming next week.
