December 10, 2004   Governor Awarded Southeastern Raptor Center's First Commemorative Display     Dr. Jamie Bellah, director of Auburn University's Southeastern Raptor Center, presented Governor Bob Riley the center's first commemorative shadow box Dec. 9 at the Capitol. The display has a portrait of golden eagle Tiger and the lure used during her homecoming flight before the Oct. 9 game against Louisiana Tech University. Joining the presentation was Nadira, a Sakar falcon, being held by Education Specialist Marianne Worley. AU's raptor center will auction similar displays with lures and other falconry gear during Auburn Alumni Club meetings next year to support the center's mission of rehabilitation, conservation and education.   Dr. Jamie Bellah, Dr. Jill Heatley, Governor Bob Riley, and Education Specialist Marianne Worley holding Nadira, a Sakar falcon.
