Special Father’s Day events are planned in North Olympic Peninsula communities:
Wild Birds Unlimited
GARDINER — Birds of prey from the Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center will be at Wild Birds Unlimited, 275953 U.S. Highway 101, for Father’s Day this year.
Representatives of the center — a nonprofit Sequim organization that focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation and release of wildlife — will display the birds from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.
The facility, run by Jaye and Gary Moore with a handful of volunteers, specializes in raptors but takes in all wildlife.
Another special guest on hand for the day will be artist Marty David of Port Townsend, who will sell signed copies of his poster of the center’s red-tailed hawk to raise money for the center.
Donations are welcome.
