Walk On The Wild Side: Summer Wildlife Series - BIRDS OF PREY

Northwoods Wildlife Center Wildlife Educator Bart Kotarba will share information about birds of prey found in the Northwoods including learning about the unique and beautiful adaptations that help these fantastic birds hunt and survive. Since 1979, the Northwoods Wildlife Center has been rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife, while educating the public about how to be better neighbors to whom we share our environment with. They are a MWP partner located in Minocqua, Wisconsin.


Bart Kotarba holds degrees in Wildlife Management and Biology with an emphasis in Environmental Education from UW-Stevens Point. He completed several internships-including one at the Northwoods Wildlife Center (NWC) -where he was involved in all aspects of wildlife rehabilitation. Bart has been with NWC since 1992. Under his direction, our Education Department has conducted thousands of programs to educate students and adults about wildlife and the environment.

We also have a unique edition to our event, TOMMI, a red-tailed hawk wildlife ambassador who was admitted to Northwoods Wildlife Center in August 2016 after being hit by a car. The severity of her wing injury led to a partial wing amputation, leaving Tommi non-flighted. She now attends educational programs throughout the Northwoods, educating the public on the world of Red-tailed Hawks!
