Please join us this Thursday, January 23rd, at 7 PM for a FREE program by Sarah Hollers, the new Executive Director at South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center! Sarah and SPWRC volunteers will bring their Wildlife Ambassadors including a Red-tailed Hawk, Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Burrowing Owl, Chihuahuan Raven and a surprise guest! This is a great opportunity for children and adults to see these fascinating creatures up close. The program is at Lubbock’s Garden and Arts Center, next to the Arboretum, at 4215 University Avenue.

They will be selling t-shirt and 5 pound bags of thistle seed for $5 or a box of 6 bags for $20. One bag is $20 on Amazon, so this is a huge steal!

Come meet some new feathery friends and take a selfie! Can't wait to see you there.

!MIGRATION ALERT! Tonight, BirdCast predicts that more than 500 MILLION birds will be migrating under the cover of darkness. Sadly, birds can be disoriented by light pollution, contributing to the hundreds of millions of birds estimated to die in building collisions in the U.S. every year. To help migrating birds, be sure to turn off nonessential lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly, and make glass safer. Just remember: Dim lights at night. Treat glass by day.
