Thursday, September 18th Juniper Village at Meadville had friends from Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation visit, and they brought their friends of the feathered kind. Did you know that a Peregrine Falcon can dive toward its prey at speeds exceeding 200 mph? This was among the several facts that residents had learned from the up close encounters with the birds. Other birds included a Great Horned Owl, Red-tailed Hawk and Screech Owls. These animals are part of the education family at Tamarack, because they have been injured and rehabilitated, however their injuries have made it impossible for them to return to the wild. Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation is solely funded by community donations. Juniper provides programs like this to engage the mind of the residents and add to the several other quality activities available throughout the day.
