Birds of prey on display at Earth Day celebration in Ansonia


Todd Secki of Killingworth shows off Autumn, a red-tailed hawk, Saturday at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center's annual Earth Day celebration.  

Secki said red-tailed hawks are the most common hawks found in North America and often live for 25 to 30 years in the wild. 
He and his wife, Christine Cummings-Secki,  are licensed wildlife rehabilitators who run the nonprofit raptor rescue organization, A Place Called Hope. 


Deep River resident Grace Krick and Chestnut, a Great Horned Owl, seem to be having a staring contest Saturday at the nature center. Krick is a volunteer with A Place Called Hope.
