Horizon Wings is a non-profit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center specializing in Birds of Prey. All of their funding is provided by educational programs and donations.  They have several raptors which are unable to be released back into the wild due to injuries.  Fortunately they are able to keep these birds at the center, and with a special permit, use them for educational programs.

 Horizon Wings was formed in 2001 by Mary-Beth Kaeser and her husband, Alan Nordell. They are a non-profit organization for the rehabilitation of raptors. Mary-Beth has been a Wildlife Rehabilitator since 1985.  Alan has had a life-long interest in raptors and has been involved with the Bald Eagle Study Group in Connecticut for many years.
