The public can see live birds of prey at Salamonie Interpretive Center on Saturday, May 18.

The family-oriented event, sponsored by Upper Wabash Interpretive Services, runs from 10 to 11 a.m. Birds from the interpretive center and Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab will be featured.

The event is part of the national “Kids to Parks Day 2013.” After the raptor program, families are encouraged to take a hike on one of many trails, bring a picnic and enjoy spending time at one of Indiana’s State Parks & Reservoir properties.

The raptor program is free after the standard gate fee of $5 per in-state vehicle and $7 per out-of-state vehicle.
