West Virginia -(Ammoland.com)- “Who cooks for me, who cooks for you all?” What raptor says this phrase?

To learn the answer, come to Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park Sunday, Aug. 22, for the Birds of Prey educational program featuring live birds.

“Ron and Wendy Perrone of Three Rivers Avian Center will discuss habitat, diet, and behavior of each bird presented” said Pam Salisbury, activities coordinator at Blennerhassett Island. “They talk about some of the most common injuries to each species and discuss how they work with birds at the rehabilitation center.”

To arrive in time for the free Birds of Prey program, board the noon or 1 p.m. boat to the island from Point Park in Parkersburg. The program will be held on the island at 1:30 p.m. The ride on the sternwheeler Island Belle is $10 for adults, $8 for children 3-12 and $9 for seniors. Sternwheeler tickets are sold at the Blennerhassett Museum, located at 137 Juliana Street in downtown Parkersburg.
