Audubon of Florida--National Center for Birds of Prey
 |
|
|
In addition to being a rehabilitation center -- one of the biggest and most successful in the Southeast -- this is a great place to get to know winged wonders that roost here and earn their keep by entertaining the relatively few visitors who come. You can get a close look at hams such as Elvis, the blue suede shoe-wearing American kestrel; Daisy, the polka dancing barn owl; and Trouble, an eagle born with a misaligned beak. Note: The center reopened in spring 2002 after a $2 million, 4-year expansion. Allow 2 hours.
