In recognition of International Vulture Awareness Day, Wildlife and Lead Outreach Coordinator for the Oregon Zoo Leland Brown will visit the Donald M. Kerr Birds of Prey Center to discuss lead poisoning in scavenging raptors and how the use of non-lead ammunition is an important conservation tool. An expert biologist, hunter and re-loader, Brown will discuss non-lead ammunition alternatives, why and how they work, and provide technical assistance to hunters.
