You can finally meet Mesker Park Zoo's newest baby chick macaw. It hatched in May, but stayed inside it's barrel nesting box and just came out. (That's why it's so big!)

These beautiful blue macaws are a rare breed actual called Hyacinth macaws.

This is the second chick hatched by this pair of parents at Mesker Park Zoo.

Hyacinth macaws are the largest member of the macaw family and are considered an endangerd species. In the wild they can be found in the rain forests of Central South America but you can see them at the zoo's Discovery Center.

Staff, Board and Volunteers from Wesselman Nature Society and ALCOA will be formally dedicating the ALCOA Raptor Wing at Wesselman Woods Nature Center.  Construction on this state-of-the art facility was completed earlier this year.

The ALCOA Raptor Wing is home to the nine birds of prey (a red tailed hawk, a red shouldered hawk, an American Kestrel, a turkey vulture, a screech owl, a barn owl, a great horned owl and two barred owls)  that are animal ambassadors for Wesselman Woods Nature Center’s programs, which are held on site and throughout the region.
