The Eyrie

After a devastating winter, the birds of prey centre near Apsley in North Kawartha Township found support from the community 

For five years, The Eyrie has educated the public about raptors and the importance of conservation and, when the birds of prey centre near Apsley faced devastating losses this past winter, the community stepped up to give back and show them some much-needed support. 

Located in the Township of North Kawartha, one of eight townships in Peterborough County, The Eyrie — which is named after the term for a raptor’s nest — has a mission to inspire conservation through meaningful education. 

Husband-and-wife team Matthew and Kristin Morgan opened the facility in 2020 after spending many years training raptors and studying eco-tourism. The facility currently has 25 birds, including many born over the past few months, including species of hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons.
