Meet The Raptors

You might see owls, falcons and/or hawks flying around town or finding food along the Fox River or at Jelke Bird Sanctuary, but to see these amazing birds of prey up close is a one-of-a-kind experience.

WHAT WE DO:

Watershed Protection

The Fox River can’t defend itself. When its health is threatened, Friends of the Fox River speaks and acts on the river’s behalf. The river can’t clean itself either. Participate in shoreline and on-the-water river cleanups from April to October.
