Birds of Prey
Are all raptors birds of prey? Are all birds of prey raptors? Students learn the difference and meet some of our Raptor Program’s feathered friends up close, coming within feet of several of our live falcons, hawks, and owls! We then take a hike and get a “hawk’s eye view” from our 60-foot observation tower, play trail games that teach about raptor adaptations, and do a feather study to learn about flight! Students also get an opportunity to touch and hold artifacts: raptor feet and wings.
