Rock City & Wings to Soar Partnership
Rock City partners with Wings to Soar to offer informational and educational birds of prey shows on Raptors. In addition to the birds of prey shows, Rock City and Wings to Soar have partnered together for the Peregrine Falcon Release program in an effort to repopulate peregrine falcons in this area. For more information on these birds or our release program, please contact Wings to Soar.
