The folks from the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center presented a program at Mariton on Friday night. Kathy and Eric are one of our more popular programs for good reason. People leave the program knowing a great deal about local wildlife. It doesn’t hurt that you can see owls, hawks, snakes, and even (de-scented) skunks only inches away from your face.

They also brought a Red-shouldered Hawk that they released at Mariton. It will make its way to the east side of the Sanctuary to settle along the Delaware River.  I would like to thank Jim and Lisa Andrews for making this program possible.
