Get up close with birds of prey at OWL open house in Delta

OWL (Orphaned Wildlife) Rehabilitation Society’s annual open house is coming up next month, offering opportunities to get up-close-and-personal with the rescue organization’s resident bald eagle, Sonsie, and other feathered friends.

Set for May 4 and 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event will also feature kids games, food trucks and guest exhibitors, as well as a 1 p.m. raptor release.

OWL – located at 3800 72 St. in Delta – is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned birds of prey.
