Wings of Discovery is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation that was founded by Stephanie Sayre in the Fall of 2010. We bring birds of prey to public venues, from street fairs to school assemblies, public libraries, nursing homes and scouting events. Our birds are brought to these venues by experienced falconers who have vast knowledge of birds of prey and their place in the ecosystem. We have also been included in fundraisers held by California Wildlife Center, and invited to such events as the Mountain Restoration Trust's 30th Anniversary of preserving and protecting the Santa Monica Mountains, and Casa Pacifica, a center for abused and neglected children in Ventura County.

Our purpose is to educate the public about these amazing winged creatures with whom we share the planet. Located in Los Angeles County, our organization provides life-long sanctuary to various species of birds of prey. Several of our birds would have been euthanized had we not been able to provide them with a place to live and thrive. Man continues to provide a challenge for these animals and we believe that educating the public about the value and needs of these birds will inspire us to take better care of our environment.

Our highly informative programs teach members of the community to respect animals, their habitat and our world. Experiencing an owl or kestrel that fits into the palm of someone's hand up close is icing on the cake!
