Centered at a cool old house and very much off the beaten track, this little lakeside rehabilitation center for hawks, screech owls and other talon-toed feathered friends offers plenty of opportunities to see the birds up close, just hanging out on the trainers' arms. Look out for Trouble the bald eagle splashing and playing in his bathtub.
