Wings to Soar is a non-profit birds of prey environmental education organization founded in 2012. Our Mission is to educate people about the magnificent birds of prey (or raptors).The best way to accomplish this is by bringing live birds of prey to the classroom, gymnasium, boardroom or pavilion. These lively and informative presentations feature a variety of birds and many of the birds are free-flying for an unforgettable "close encounter"!

Lookout's Looping Journey Continues
Lookout's latest GPS data shows that he has completed his loop and is in sweet home Alabama again. There are a few things to note. If you follow his track on the big loop he has made, you notice in a few places he is down in a field. What we believe is that he may have possibly caught a bird in the field and has either eaten it at that location or taken it to a perch to consume his prize. Certainly he is feeding himself now since it has been a week since he was last at the hack box for quail. There are a lot of young Mourning Doves out there now and should be easy prey for him. Also, he seems to be following ridges and is utilizing ridge lift and or thermals to help him in his travel. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. The story continues...
