Avian helpers join the meeting

Our March 18 OKC Audubon speaker will be Dennis Smith accompanied by some avian and human helpers.

Dennis is head of Raptors-Keep (raptors-keep.com), an education and conservation group that specializes in birds of prey. Dennis and his helpers will feature some of their birds to include a Red-tailed Hawk, a Harris’s Hawk, Great Horned Owl, Turkey Vulture and the star of the show an Eurasian Eagle Owl.

Dennis is a dedicated conservationist, educator and falconer who has  worked with birds of prey for over a decade. His involvement began in late 2009 when he became an apprentice falconer and started working with a rescue/rehabilitation organization specifically for birds of prey.

After volunteering a number of years and obtaining the required experience and knowledge, Dennis was able to obtain his own federal licenses and in 2017, he founded Raptors Keep with the express purpose of providing public education and a sanctuary for non-releasable birds of prey.

Bring your camera and friends and enjoy an evening with real birds, interesting people and great camaraderie.

Our meetings are held September through June on the third Monday of each month.  Meetings begin at 7 p.m. Visitors are always welcome.

Meeting Location:

Our meetings are held at the Will Rogers Garden center, located at the intersection of NW 36th Street and I-44. The Oklahoma City Audubon Society is neither a chapter of, nor affiliated with, the National Audubon Society.
